In physics, usually we measure distances in meters. Also in physics, acceleration is usually assumed to be in meters per second.

And so, Einstein used meters per second squared to describe the speed of light in the famous equation. E=MC^2 (M is mass in kilograms, C is speed of light in meters per second, and E is the amount of energy in Joules).

PS. The word Watt stands for Joules per second. So a 100 watt light bulb uses 100 joules of energy every second.

What makes a valid physical equation true?

Most equations in physics are never true. All that can be done is to find more an more evidence in support of the equation. However, it is always possible that there is an as-yet-unknown factor which changes all the equations. this is what happened to Newtonian physics as a result of Einstein's work.

Why do you clear fractions in a linear equation?

Multiply every term in the equation by a common denominator of all the fractions. The least common denominator (if different) will result in smaller numbers that you then have to work with but it is not essential that you use it.
