Reuben Cooley · Answer 1

To show that the expression given is dimensionally correct, we can do a dimensional analysis where we write the units of each term in the expression.

vf [=] vi + at

m/s [=] m/s + (m/s²) (s)

m/s [=] m/s + m/s

m/s [=] m/s

Therefore, the expression is dimensionally correct.
