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
What is dimensional analysis?
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
What is 1 litre to cm?
1000cm^3
27
Is this equation dimensionally correct? -Force= density x area x velocity -pressure = height × gravity acceleration × density -power = speed × force -energy = mass × (speed)2
