Check the correctness of the formula S =...

Check the correctness of the formula `S = ut + 1/3 "at"^2` where S is the distance , u is velocity , a is acceleration and t is time.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Dimensionally, LHS= [L]
RHS `= [LT^(-1)] [T] + [LT^(-2)] [T]^(2)= [L] + [L] = [L]`
Since, the dimension of each term on both sides are same, the given equation is dimensionally correct.
