Let us check the dimensional correctness of the relation ` v = u + at`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the dimensional form
`[L^(1)T^(-1)] = [L^(1)T^(-1)]+[L^(1)T^(-2)] [T^(1)]=[L^(1)T^(-1)]`
The dimension for L on both sides is 1
The dimension for T on both sides is - 1
Hence from the principle of homogeneity of dimensions the given equation is correct.
