Dimensional Formula of Acceleration
The dimensional formula of acceleration is given by,
M0 L1 T-2
Where,
- M = Mass
- L = Length
- T = Time
Derivation
Acceleration (a) = Velocity × Time-1 . . . . . (1)
Since, Velocity (V) = Displacement × Time-1
∴ The dimensional formula of velocity is [M0 L1 T-1] . . . . (2)
On substituting equation (2) in equation (1) we get,
Acceleration = Velocity × Time-1
Or, a = [M0 L1 T-1] × [T]-1 = [M0 L1 T-2]
Therefore, acceleration is dimensionally represented as [M0 L1 T-2].
