Question

The dimensions for force are the product of mass and length divided by time squared. Newton's second law states that force equals the product of mass and acceleration. What are the dimensions of acceleration?
T2
T2/L
L/T2
L/T

Answer 1

Answer:

L/T^2.

Explanation:

Dimensional analysis is defined as the analysis of the relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their base quantities (such as length, mass, time, temperature etc.) and units of measure (such as miles vs. kilometers, pounds vs. kilograms etc.).

F = m * a

kg(m/s^2) = kg * a

In dimensions,

a = L/T^2.
