What's the process of including units of measurement when you compute?

Answer 1

When you carry units along with your computations, you are doing a form of unit analysis. Physics students who carry units along with their calculations often have a better understanding of the material and remember the formulas and concepts better. Take a look at the chicken-and-a-half question, which is a whimsical brain teaser that demonstrates how unit analysis can help the solver get a realistic answer. (See the related question.)

Answer 2

When computing with units of measurement, it's important to maintain the correct units throughout the calculation. Make sure to convert units as needed to ensure consistency. Always include the appropriate unit in your final answer to provide context and clarity.
