Question: The position of a particle moving under uniform acceleration is some function of time and the acceleration. Suppose we write this position s = kamt

The position of a particle moving under uniform acceleration is some function of time and the acceleration. Suppose we write this position s = kamt n, where k is a dimensionless constant. Show by dimensional analysis that this expression satisfied if m = 1 and n = 2. Can this analysis give the value of k?
