Verify the correctness of the equations `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.
