Answer

Dimensionally correct

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $v=v_{\circ}+at$ We know that the dimensions on the left hand side are $[LT^{-1}]$ and the dimensions on the right hand side are $[LT^{-1}]+[LT^{-2}][T]=[LT^{-1}]+[LT^{-1}]=2[LT^{-1}]$ Thus, the given equation is dimensionally consistent.
