The unit for
ΔL/L
is

the unit for ΔL/L is "unitless".

Explanation:

Given;

ΔL/L

by physics convection, the above parameters can be defined as;

delta L (ΔL) is change in length, with SI unit as meters (m),

L is the original length of the material, with SI unit as meters (m)

The ratio of the change in length to the original length has no unit since both units cancel out during the division.

This ratio (ΔL/L), is also called tensile strain and it has no unit.

Therefore, the unit for ΔL/L is "unitless".

less than one you can't create energy

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
