Explanation

• Picosecond (ps) = 10⁻¹² seconds
• SI prefix “pico” means 10⁻¹².
• 1 picosecond = one trillionth of a second.

Additional information:

• Microsecond (μs) = 10⁻⁶ seconds
• Nanosecond (ns) = 10⁻⁹ seconds
• Millisecond (ms) = 10⁻³ seconds
• Femtosecond (fs) = 10⁻¹⁵ seconds
• Attosecond (as) = 10⁻¹⁸ seconds
• Zeptosecond (zs) = 10⁻²¹ seconds
• Yoctosecond (ys) = 10⁻²⁴ seconds

Explanation

• The dimension of viscosity is [ML⁻¹T⁻¹].
• Viscosity measures a fluid’s resistance to flow.
• Higher viscosity means thicker fluid (like honey).
• Lower viscosity means thinner fluid (like water).

Explanation

• The unit of pressure is N/m² (Newton per square meter).
• It is also called Pascal (Pa).
• Pressure means force applied per unit area.
• Higher force or smaller area increases pressure.

Explanation

• Honey has the maximum viscosity.
• Viscosity means resistance to flow.
• Honey flows very slowly due to high internal friction.

Explanation

Kinetic energy formula = 1/2 × mass × velocity²  

Mass is constant.

If KE doubles, then velocity² must double.  

If velocity² becomes 2 times, velocity becomes √2 times.

So kinetic energy doubles by doubling √2 × velocity.
