The numerical answer is easy to find, but I'm wondering which units are in the answer and how those units are determined. Thanks in advance.
(6.63E-34 J×s)(7.09E14 s) - 2.17E-19 J =
(6.63E-34 J×s)(7.09E14 s) - 2.17E-19 J =
Dickfore said:The unit of a frequency is s-1, not s.
Units in a scientific equation refer to the measurement of a physical quantity, such as length, mass, or time. They are typically represented by symbols, such as meters (m), kilograms (kg), or seconds (s).
Units in an equation are combined using mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The resulting unit of the equation will depend on the units of the individual terms involved in the operation.
Unit cancellation, also known as dimensional analysis, is a method of simplifying equations by canceling out units that are present on both sides of the equation. This allows for easier manipulation and understanding of the equation.
The units that can be canceled in an equation are those that are present on both the numerator and denominator of a fraction or on both sides of an equation. The units that cannot be canceled are those that are unique to one side of the equation.
Using units in scientific equations is important because it provides context and meaning to the numerical values being used. It also allows for consistency and accuracy in calculations and ensures that the results are in the appropriate unit of measurement.
