According to the Principle of Homogeneity, the dimensions of each term of a dimensional equation on both sides should be the same. This theory allows us to convert the units from one form to another.

Given that

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh


Step 1: Set up a dimensional formula for kinetic energy

K.E = \frac{1}{2} mv^2   where, m - mass and v -  velocity

Dimensional formula [math] = [M] [L^2 T^{-2}] [/math]

[math]=\ [ML^2T^{-2}][/math] ....................(1)


Step 1: Set up a dimensional formula for potential energy

P.E = mgh , where m - mass, g - acceleration due to gravity ( 9.8 m/s^2 ).

Dimensional formula [math] = [M] [LT^{-2}] [L] [/math]

[math] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] [/math] ...................(2)


From equation (1) and (2)

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

[math] [M L^2 T^{-2}] = [M L^2 T^{-2}] [/math]

L.H.S = R.H.S


Since the dimensions of the LHS and RHS are the same, the equation is dimensionally correct.
