Serway & Jewett β Physics and Measurement: Problem 8
The position of a particle moving under uniform acceleration is some function of time and the acceleration. Suppose we write this position as \(x = k a^m t^n\), where \(k\) is a dimensionless constant. Show by dimensional analysis that this expression is satisfied if \(m = 1\) and \(n = 2\). Can this analysis give the value of \(k\)?
