WHAT IS DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS - Kisembo Academy
10 videos • 5,361 views • by by Kisembo Physics And Math in this playlist, we show how the dimensions of a physical quantity such as acceleration can be determined or related to the three physical quantities. here we explore fundamental and physical quantities of matter. The three basic quantities of matter include length, mass and time, their standard units being meters, kilograms and seconds respectively. All the physical quantities (derived quantities) are related to these three basic quantities. The basic quantities cannot be expressed in terms of other physical quantities whereas the derived quantities are physical quantities which are expressed in terms of other physical quantities and they include but arent limited to velocity, acceleration, force etc. among other uses, dimensions of a physical quantity can be used to find consistency of equations. We use a few solved problems to show the consistency of Newton’s second law of motion and other equations. here we explore fundamental and physical quantities of matter. The three basic quantities of matter include length, mass and time, their standard units being meters, kilograms and seconds respectively. All the physical quantities (derived quantities) are related to these three basic quantities. The basic quantities cannot be expressed in terms of other physical quantities whereas the derived quantities are physical quantities which are expressed in terms of other physical quantities and they include but aren’t limited to velocity, acceleration, force etc. dimensional analysis can also be used to derive equations. This is only possible when we have an idea about the factors upon which a physical quantity depends. here we explore fundamental and physical quantities of matter.
