Question
Determine the unit of ‘c, given:
- is in metres
- is in seconds.
Options:
a. m/s²
b. m²/s
c. kgm/s
d. m/s
Solution
To determine the unit of 'c' in the equation x = a + bt + ct^2, we need to analyze the units of each term in the equation.
Given that x is in meters and t is in seconds, we can determine the units of 'a', 'b', and 'c' by comparing the units on both sides of the equation.
The first term, 'a', is added to x. Since x is in meters, 'a' must also be in meters.
The second term, 'bt', is multiplied by t. Since t is in seconds, 'b' must have units of meters per second (m/s) to ensure that the product has units of meters.
Now, let's focus on the third term, 'ct^2'. Since t is in seconds, 'c' must have units of meters per second squared (m/s^2) to ensure that the product has units of meters.
Therefore, the unit of 'c' in the equation x = a + bt + ct^2 is meters per second squared (m/s^2).
