Units are measurements given to a specific dimension. For example:

t=time
M=mass

Units are used to quantify the measurement of a specific system such as acceleration, velocity, etc...

2 examples:

9.81m/s^2 is a measurement of acceleration. The unit is m/s^2 (meters per second squared) This unit is actually a constant and it measures the acceleration due to gravity. Now obviously, the number can change.

6J is a measurement of work. J (joules) shows how much work must be done on an object to complete whatever must be done on this object. For example, we need 3j of work to move this box north.

Hope this helps

Units are important because without a unit, you have
no idea what the number means. It's as simple as that.

Here are the examples I always like to give:

I am 932 old.
I weigh 3,104 .
I travel approximately 35 to work every day.  It takes me less than 5 .
I earn a little over 198 on my job.

I've told you a lot of very private information, but without
the units, you still know almost nothing about me.

Airida [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

N_1=1 rev/s

angular velocity \omega =2\pi N_1=6.284 rad/s

Combined moment of inertia of stool,student and bricks =6\ kg.m^2

Now student pull off his hands so as to increase its speed to suppose N_2 rev/s

\omega _2=2\pi N_2  

After Pulling off hands so final moment of inertia is

I_2=2\ kg-m^2

Conserving angular momentum  as no external torque is applied

I_1\omega _1=I_2\omega _2

6\times 6.284=2\times \omega _2

\omega _2=18.85\ rad/s

N_2=3 rev/s

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.
