[QUOTE="Michele Nunes, post: 5221043, member: 570267"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Is the following equation dimensionally correct? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] E = (1/2) mv where: E = energy m = mass v = speed [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] 1. I understand that the 1/2 is irrelevant. 2. I broke everything down into length, time, and mass. 3. I got ML^2/T^2 = ML/T 4. My confusion is that if you square L and T on the left side, you still have length and time so I mean essentially, you have the same types of quantities on both sides of the equation in the same order, so I want to say it is correct, however the fact that L and T are squared on the left side but not on the right side bugs me and I'm doubtful.
