Q...
Ok, thanks; I thought it meant that, but I wasn't sure.
Perhaps he might actually be looking for that, but I can't be sure; I won't get an answer before Monday, so, in the mean time, if anything else pops in your mind (or anyone's mind), please let me know. Thank you very much!
Ok, I believe that I understand your reasoning.
According to what he told me, I didn't even need to consider the mass when calculating the answer. Nonetheless, he did mention that the 5 m/s^2 and the 9.8 m/s^2 were important. He also mentioned the fact that I had to use them in accordance...
I came up with the same reasoning as you did. I gave a little more information at the same time as you posted (see above your post), so perhaps that little bit might be of some help. Thanks!
Ok, so if I correctly understand, you attributed the mass as being 1, or you simply neglected it.
I also came up with 14m/s for the velocity, and then used that to prove that 9.8 m/s^2 was indeed the regular acceleration.
It's odd that the answer you get to is double his given answer...
