22
Q

What is the rule of adding/subtracting quantities?

A

They must be of the same dimension and unit, if it isnt the same unit then standardize the units (Making them the same)

23
Q

What is the rule when multiplying/dividing quantities?

A

You can multiply quantities even if they have different dimensions however a new quantity is created with a new name

24
Q

What are dimensionless quantities

A

Quantities with no units. eg (Strain)

25
Q

What is dimensional analysis?

A

Checking if each quantity in an equation has the same dimensions, if they do not then the equation is not correct. It acts as an initial check.

26
Q

What is 1 litre to cm?

A

1000cm^3

27
Q

Is this equation dimensionally correct?
-Force= density x area x velocity
-pressure = height × gravity acceleration × density
-power = speed × force
-energy = mass × (speed)2

A
28
