Verify dimensional consistency of: x = x₀ + v₀t + \( \frac{1}{2} \)at². Which term on RHS has WRONG dimensions?
x₀ — dimensions [L²]
v₀t — dimensions [L²T⁻¹]
\( \frac{1}{2} \)at² — dimensions [L²T⁻²]
All terms are dimensionally correct — each has [L]
Check: \( \frac{1}{2} \)mv² = mgh. Dimensions of LHS and RHS respectively are:
[ML²T⁻²] and [MLT⁻²]
[ML²T⁻²] and [ML²T⁻²]
[MLT⁻¹] and [ML²T⁻²]
[ML²T⁻²] and [ML³T⁻²]
