  • Am/s³, m/s², m/s
  • Bm/s², m/s, m
  • Cm/s³, m/s², m
  • Dm/s², m/s, m/s³
Explanation

By the principle of homogeneity, each term must have the same dimensions as velocity, [LT^-1]. For At², [A][T²] = [LT^-1], so [A] = [LT^-3] (m/s³). For Bt, [B][T] = [LT^-1], so [B] = [LT^-2] (m/s²). For C, [C] = [LT^-1] (m/s).
