### question from class today

Can anyone explain how Lavelle cancelled both the s and s^-2 to result in the only unit being m left over? If that makes sense haha!

If you make it into a fraction it will be easier to see

The units of the numerator are J *S which is (kg*m^2*S^-2) *S
The denominator for it is (kg)*(m*S^-1) If you move the s^-1 to the numerator (1/s^-1 = s^1/1) the you get s^2 *s^-2 which will cancel the seconds and the kilograms
