Detailed Solution

In the equation of motion, x=at+bt2, the units of a and b are m/s and m/s2, respectively.
When each term has the same dimension on both sides of the equation, an equation is said to be dimensionally correct by the homogeneity of dimension principle.
Thus, [x] = [at]
      [x] = [bt2]
      [a] = [xt]
      [b] = [xt2]
Given that both x and t have length dimensions, the units of a and b will be in m/s and m/s2, respectively.
