Explain this statement clearly : “To call a dimensional quantity ‘large’ or ‘small’ is meaningless without specifying a standard for comparison”. In view of this, reframe the following statements wherever necessary : (a) atoms are very small objects (b) a jet plane moves with great speed (c) the mass of Jupiter is very large (d) the air inside this room contains a large number of molecules (e) a proton is much more massive than an electron (f) the speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light.
An object is said to be large or small when it is compared by the some other standard object of the same type. For example, the size of a ship is very large as compared to the size of a bicycle. The comparison of following statement in their reframe is:
(a). Atoms are very small in comparison to a tennis ball.
(b) A jet plane moves with great speed in comparison to the bicycle.
(c) The mass of Jupiter is very large in comparison to the mass of a bob of a simple pendulum.
(d) The air inside the room contains a larger number of molecules in comparison to the number of molecules in a small box.
(e) a proton is much more massive than an electron in comparison to the difference in the mass of a basketball and baseball.
(f) the speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light in comparison to the difference between the speeds of a bicycle and that speed of a car.
