Question

correctness of x=xo+vot+at^2 by dimensional analysis

Answer 1

Answer:

The given equation x=x

0

+u

0

t+

2

1

at

2

is dimensionally correct, where x is the distance travelled by a particle in time t, initial position x

0

, initial velocity u

0

and uniform acceleration a is along the direction of motion

REASON

Dimensional analysis can be used for checking the dimensional consistency or homogeneity of the equation.
