physics help?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

1) L.H.S = [L * L * T^-2] = L^2/T^2 R.H.S = L^2 * L * T^-1 * T ^ -4 = L^3/T^5 L.H.S != R.H.S ( not consistent) Can you continue the rest ?

OpenStudy (simplixity):

@TrojanPoem sorry I'm so lost, can you explain please?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

(Depends on what you were taught , but generally) Dimension => Symbol mass = > M Length => L Time => T Temperature => Q You take the Left hand side, and replace each quantity with it's dimension for ex unit of acceleration = m/s^2 meter is length second is time so dimension of acceleration = L /T^2 or equivalently L * T^-2 you do the same with the right side. if both sides get same dimension after simplifying then , it's consistent otherwise, not.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

You divide and multiply normally, but in addition you just take one so L + L + L + L + ...... = L The same goes for substraction L - L = L ( not zero)

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

unit of constants = 1 x = vt + 0.5 vt^2 L.H.S = L R.H.S = L * T^-1 * T + L * T^-1 * T^2 = L + LT ( can't be simplified further ) so this equation is not correct and not consistent. (by the way, it was clear as it's newton law x = vt + 0.5 at^2 )

I think I kinda understand it.. is it okay if we work one together?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Sure, work all of them. I will check the answers.
