Dimensional formula of acceleration – how to find?

Last updated on December 28th, 2021 at 02:12 pm

Here, we will find out the dimensional formula of acceleration.

Formula of acceleration = velocity/time

The dimensional formula of velocity = [M⁰LT^–1] [see here how to find the dimensional formula of velocity ]

The dimension of time = [T]

Hence, Dimensional formula of acceleration =
The dimension of velocity / The dimension of time
= [M⁰LT^–1] / [T]
= [M⁰LT^–2]

Dimensional formula of acceleration = [M⁰LT^–2]
