    Finding Dimensional Homogeneity

    Thank you all. Your explanations made it click in my head and I think I have it now.

    Finding Dimensional Homogeneity

    I think the question may have been mis-typed on my handout. I think it should read "which one of the following is NOT dimensionally homogeneous?" When I do the substitutions for F=mV it becomes: N=(kg)(m/s) or further: (kg)(m/s2)=(kg)(m/s) Because the (m/s) on the right is not...

    Finding Dimensional Homogeneity

    Okay, so further googling turned up this(http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html" ) handy chart. Am I to understand correctly that 1N= 1kg(m/s2) And then using that I can compare left to right? And if the right side doesn't come out to kg(m/s2) it is NOT dimensionally homogeneous?

    Finding Dimensional Homogeneity

    Homework Statement Which one of the following equations is dimensionally homogeneous? Where: F= force (N) m= mass (kg) a= acceleration (m/s2) V= velocity (m/s) R= radius (m) t= time (s)Homework Equations 1. F=ma 2. F=m(V2/R) 3. F(t2-t1)=m(V2-V1) 4. F=mV 5. F=m(V2-V1)/(t2-t1)The Attempt at a...

    Summer getting too hard for you? Post your Fall Schedule to cool down

    I do feel like I'll have time management skills and work ethic that I wouldn't have otherwise had going into college. I'll just be hitting the books hard to not get behind early on. More than anything I'm just excited to get started.

    Summer getting too hard for you? Post your Fall Schedule to cool down

    Haha Thanks TylerH, I got to live every little boys dream of spending all day shooting rocket launchers and playing with C-4 for my job. It was a blast. Unfortunately, all the time off from serious school work has me quite nervous to dive in headfirst. I guess it's like riding a bike, a little...
