When I square velocity, do I square the quantity or include the numbers too?
Example:
I have a velocity of 7.34 m s-1, and wish to square it
(7.34 m s-1)2
Do i just multiply each of the values by itself twice?
7.34 * 7.34
m * m
s-1 * s-1
which equals
53.8756 m2 s-2
or is it just 53.8756 m s-1, as it's still a velocity
many thanks
