Default The acceleration of gravity at sea level is about g=32'/sec^2

If the acceleration of gravity at sea level is about g=32'/sec^2, then
what is g/2?

Oh, come on. We need some education he

g/2 = 16'/sec^2

Have you enough education to know what that means?

Most do. You don't.

Idiot Dumb Donny ****HEAD is too stooopid to look up WGS84
parameterizations. Hye Dumb Donny ****HEAD - is a 360-degree
polynomial fit to the geoid too coarse for your delicate little
brainlet?

I am willing to wager that dense Donny sHead doesn't recognize the
difference between a 360-degree polynomial and a 360-degree circle (or maybe
even a 360-degree oven, as far as that goes).

I am willing to wager that's a troll; if there ever was one.

Don


Of the two equations:
s = (1/2)g*t^2
and
g/2 = s/t^2,
the second is not more fundamental than the first in any sense of the
word. They are completely, algebraically and physically, equivalent.
The second may *appear* simpler to you, but that is only because of
your rustiness with algebra. One more accustomed to the tool would find
the two to both mean the same and be equally easy to use.
