Question

If you look at the dimensions (units) of the right side of equation 2, what units will the calculated acceleration have? Does this what you expected for an acceleration value? Explain

If we measure the height and use a stopwatch to measure the time, then we can calculate
the gravitational constant at home. Let's rearrange the equation to make 'a' the subject of
the equation.
a=2h/t²
(2) (same equation as above, re arranged!)

Expert Solution

Step 1

Acceleration is normally measured in the the units of $m e t e r s / s e c^{2}$ .

Hence the dimensions of acceleration is $L T^{- 2}$ .
