Check Your Understanding Is the equation v=atdimensionally consistent? One further point thin needs to be mentioned is the effect of the operations of calculus on dimensions. We have seen that dimensions obey the rules of algebra, just like units, but what happens when we take the derivative of one physical quantity with respect to another or integrate a physical quantity over another? The derivative of a function is just the slope of the line tangent to its graph and slopes are ratios, so for physical quantities vand t , we hive that the dimension of the derivative of vwith respect to us just the ratio of the dimension of v over that of t : [dvdt]=[vt] . Similarly, since integrals are just sums of products, the dimension of the integral of vwith respect to t is simply the dimension of vtimes the dimension of t : [vdt]=[v][t] . By the same reasoning, analogous rules hold for the units of physical quantities derived from other quantities by integration or differentiation.

In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .
