Derived quantities and dimensional analysis: WAEC Physics Past Questions and Answers
What the WAEC syllabus covers in Derived quantities and dimensional analysis
Our summary: Using dimensions of quantities to check equations and work out units.
- Fundamental quantities and units (e.g. length, mass, time, electric current, luminous intensity etc.; m, kg, s, A, cd etc. as their respective units.)
- Derived quantities and units (e.g. volume, density, speed etc.; m³, kg m⁻³, m s⁻¹ etc. as their respective units.)
- Explanation of dimensions in terms of fundamental and derived quantities
- Uses of dimensions (To verify dimensional correctness of a given equation; to derive the relationship between quantities; to obtain derived units.)
