c has dimensions of #text{distance}/text{time}^2#. The units of c are #m s^-2#

Explanation:

y has the dimension of distance, so all terms on the right must also have distance as the dimension. Thus c has dimensions of:

#text{distance}/text{time}^2# to balance out the squared time from #t^2#.

The units of c are therefore #m /s^2#.
