Q. With the usual notations, the following equation $S_{t} = u + \frac{1}{2}a(2t - 1)\$is

A) Only numerically correct
B) Only dimensionally correct
C) Both numerically and dimensionally correct
D) Neither numerically nor dimensionally correct
Explanation

We can derive this equation from equations of motion so it is numerically correct $S_{1} =$distance trvelled in $t^{th}$ second = $\frac{Distance}{time} = \lbrack LT^{- 1}\rbrack$ $u =$ velocity =$\lbrack LT^{- 1}\rbrack$ and $\frac{1}{2}a(2t - 1) = \lbrack LT^{- 1}\rbrack$ As dimensions of each term in the given equation are same, hence equation is dimensionally correct also
