The $SI$ unit of energy is $J = kg \, m^{2} \, s^{-2}$; that of speed $v$ is $m \, s^{-1}$ and of acceleration $a$ is $m \, s^{-2}$. Which of the formulae for kinetic energy $(K)$ given below can you rule out on the basis of dimensional arguments ($m$ stands for the mass of the body):
$(a)$ $K = m^{2} v^{3}$
$(b)$ $K = (1/2) m v^{2}$
$(c)$ $K = m a$
$(d)$ $K = (3/16) m v^{2}$
$(e)$ $K = (1/2) m v^{2} + m a$

If time $(t)$,velocity $(u)$,and angular momentum $(I)$ are taken as the fundamental units,then the dimension of mass $(m)$ in terms of $(t)$,$(u)$,and $(I)$ is:

Consider a spongy block of mass $m$ floating on a flowing river. The maximum mass of the block is related to the speed of the river flow $v$, acceleration due to gravity $g$, and the density of the block $\rho$ such that $m_{\max} = k v^x g^y \rho^z$ ($k$ is a constant). The values of $x, y$, and $z$ should then respectively be:
(Mass of the spongy block is assumed to vary due to absorption of water by it)
