Consider the following kinematics equation: V=V² + 2ax where V, and V are both representative of velocities with units of [m/s], determine the proper units of 2a4x (the second term on the right-hand-side of the equals sign), such that the equation obeys the principle of dimensional homogeneity. (Include square brackets around your final answer).

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.
