Velocity = length travelled per unit of time = (L)/(T)
In other words, in the equation of motion of a particle traveling at a uniform velocity(V) for a time (T), the distance travelled would be L = VT.

∙ 8y agoIt really depends on what base units you decide to use. Using the base units that are usual in the SI, the dimensions of speed, as well as velocity, are distance / time.

What do you mean by critical velocity by method of dimensions establish its relation?
Critical Velocity has the same dimensions as of velocity & terminal velocity. [L/T]
Is velocity the same as acceleration?
Both are vectors. But acceleration and velocity have different dimensions. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.
Why does the unit of time enter twice in the unit accereration?
It should be noted that an acceleration is not a velocity. Velocity is defined as distance per unit rate; thus, it has dimensions of length/time. Acceleration is defined as change of velocity per unit rate; thus, its dimensions are velocity / time, i.e., (length/time) / time.
What is the motion of objects moving in two dimensions under the influence of gravity a. horizontal velocity b. directrix c. vertical velocity d. projectile motion?
horizontal velocity
What is the dimension formula of angular velocity?
angular velocity (omega) = theta/time taken theta is dimensionless i.e. it has no dimensions therefore, the diemnsion of angular velocity is 1/T=T^-1
What do you mean by critical velocity by method of dimensions establish its relation?
Critical Velocity has the same dimensions as of velocity & terminal velocity. [L/T]
How are acceleration and speed alike?
They are not alike but they are related. A positive acceleration means an increase in velocity (speed). A negative acceleration means a decrease in velocity. Velocity (speed) has the dimensions of distance / time. Acceleration has the dimensions of distance/time2 or velocity/time.

What 2 things must you know to descriobe the motion of an object?
If movement is in two dimensions: the x-coordinate of the velocity, and the y-coordinate of the velocity. Or alternatively: the magnitude of the velocity, and the direction. If movement is in three dimensions, you need to know three things, for example, x-coordinate, y-coordinate, and z-coordinate of the velocity, or magnitude of the velocity and two components of direction.

horizontal velocity
What is the homogeneity of v2 equals u2 plus 2as?
Each term in the equation has dimensions of velocity-squared (remember "a" here is acceleration which is velocity divided by time, so "as" is velocity x distance / time = velocity squared).
What is the dimension formula of angular velocity?
angular velocity (omega) = theta/time taken theta is dimensionless i.e. it has no dimensions therefore, the diemnsion of angular velocity is 1/T=T^-1
What type of energy is velocity?
Velocity by itself is not an energy - it has different dimensions. Any object that moves has kinetic energy - calculated as KE = 0.5 x mass x velocity2.
How would you differentiate speed time distance and velocity?
Velocity is a vector: it has a direction. The others are all scalars. The dimensions of the scalars are Speed : [LT-1] Time: [T] Distance: [L]
What do need to know to describe the velocity of an object?
In physics, "velocity" is defined as a vector. That means that you either need to know:The magnitude of the velocity and the direction, orThe vector's components. For example, in two dimensions, you would need the x-component and the y-component.
