  Dimensional analysis just means checking that the units work out. You can do it! x, dx, y and dy have units of length. dt has units of time. v, I’m guessing is velocity, so length/time. length/length^2 = (length/time)^2 * length/time^2 -> 1/length = length^3/time^4 These are different types of things, they can’t be equal to each other. It is essentially like static types in programming, but for physicists, and it is a similarly simple but dramatically powerful idea.
