Write it our longhand and it's easier to grok: 9.8 m/s^2 ==> 9.8 m/(s*s) ==> 9.8 m/(s*s) ==> (9.8 meters per second) per second. \ / \__ speed added __/ per second -Rob ----- Rob Warnock <r...@rpw3.org> 627 26th Avenue <URL:http://rpw3.org/> San Mateo, CA 94403 (650)572-2607 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
