Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the dimensional formula for velocity?
  • Step 1: Understand that velocity measures how fast something moves.
  • Step 2: Know that velocity is calculated by dividing displacement (how far something has moved) by time (how long it took).
  • Step 3: Identify the dimensions of displacement. Displacement is a measure of length, which has the dimensional formula [L].
  • Step 4: Identify the dimensions of time. Time has the dimensional formula [T].
  • Step 5: Combine the dimensions for velocity. Since velocity is displacement divided by time, the formula becomes [L] / [T].
  • Step 6: Simplify the formula. This gives us [L][T⁻¹], which is the same as [MLT⁻¹] since mass (M) is not involved in the formula for velocity.
