Verify the correctness of the equations ...

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.
