Diomention of acceleration
Answers
Explanation:
Acceleration has the dimensions of velocity (L/T) divided by time, i.e. L T−2. The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s−2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second.
SI unit: m/s2, m·s−2, m s−2
Dimension: L T −2
Answer:
Dimensional Formula of Acceleration
The dimensional formula of acceleration is given by,
M0 L1 T-2
Where,
M = Mass
L = Length
T = Time
Derivation
Acceleration (a) = Velocity × Time-1 . . . . . (1)
Since, Velocity (V) = Displacement × Time-1
∴ The dimensional formula of velocity is [M0 L1 T-1] . . . . (2)
On substituting equation (2) in equation (1) we get,
Acceleration = Velocity × Time-1
Or, a = [M0 L1 T-1] × [T] = [M0 L1 T-2]
Therefore, acceleration is dimensionally represented as [M0 L1 T-2].
