Text Solution
AI Generated Solution
To check whether the relation \( S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \) is dimensionally correct, we will analyze the dimensions of both sides of the equation step by step.
### Step 1: Identify the dimensions of \( S \)
- The left-hand side (LHS) of the equation is \( S \), which represents distance or displacement.
- The dimension of distance (or displacement) is given by:
\[
[S] = [L] = M^0 L^1 T^0
\]
