Note

Dimensions aren't the same as units; dimension of physical quantities is its physical nature. For example, the physical quantity, speed, may be measured in units of meters per second, miles per hour etc.; but regardless of the units used, speed is always a length divided a time, so we say that the dimensions of speed are length divided by time.
