✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Must be true
c
(c)
(c)
This statement is completely correct. If a quantity depends upon two other quantities which are dimensionally same then formula's validity can be checked but it can't be derived by the method of dimensions.

The rebound coefficient between a tennis ball and a racket is defined as $g = v_2/ v_1$, where $v_1$ is the incoming speed of the ball and $v_2$ is the speed of the ball after rebound while the racket is at rest. A tennis ball falls from height $H$ to a racket at rest and bounces back to $0.8\ H. A$ tennis player is using the racket to hit an incoming tennis ball traveling at $150\ km/hr$ and the racket is moving at $100\ km/hr$. What is the speed of the ball after being hit? (Assume the mass of the racket >> that of the ball)..........$km/hr$
