This is the standard expression for the ACCELERATION due to gravity.

Acceleration is the change in speed per second.

If there is no friction or air resistance then a body falling from rest will reach a speed of 32.2 fps after 1 second, after 2 secs it will be travelling at 64.4. fps, at 96.6 fps after 3 secs ....and so on.

In Mechanics there is an expression for motion involving constant acceleration :-

v = u + ft, where v = velocity after a period of time, u = initial velocity, f = acceleration and t = time.

In the question, after 3 seconds this formula would produce :-

v = 0 + 32.2 x 3 = 96.6 fps.

Is joule per kilogram equal to meter per second?

Joule is newton-meter, newton is kg m/s2. Therefore: J/kg = Nm/kg = kg m2/s2 kg = m2/s2. So, the answer is no.


What is the Relationship of J per kg to m2 per s2?

They're equivalent. 1 J is equal to 1 Newton*1 meter (N*m), and a Newton is equal to a kilogram times a meter per second squared (kg m/s2). Therefore, substituting kg m/s2 for the Newton, and multiplying it by a meter, a Joule is a kg m2/s2. If it's Joules per kg, then it's (kg m2/s2)/kg, and the kg unit on the top and the bottom cancel each other out. You're left with m2/s2!


What does g equals 9.8 ms2 equals 32.2 FTS mean?

"g" simply means the gravitational constant at standard condition or at sea level. 9.8 m/s2 is the "g" in it's metric form. While 32.2 ft/s2 is in it's English form. When any of the two would be converted to the other the values would be approximately the same.


Give two ways the unit for acceleration can be written?

1 way is meters per second squared. [m/s2(the 2 is an exponent)] That is the only way i know. another way is meters per second, per second again [ m/s/s ] ; weird huh? hope that helps
