If x=a+bt+ct2 where x is in metres and t is in seconds.What is the unit of c?

The dimension of ct2 should be [L] since the left side of the equation has dimension [L].

Thus,

[L] = [c][T2]

=> [c] = [LT-2]

So, the unit of c is ms-2.

  • 32

meter=a+b(time)+c(time)

[L]=[T][T]*c

[L]=[T2]*C

THEREFPRE C=[L]/[T2]

SO C=m/s2 it must be acceleration

note; assuming (a) and (b) as constants
