Ch2_2 #3

Part A: Ch2 Seet 13. Watch the units! See Ch 1 Sheet 4. Lear how to do conversions systematically.
Part B: The fraction of x of y = x/y. g is the gravitational acceleration.
Part C: See sheet 14. Do you know v0, a and t ?
Part D; if you don't know the value of units google them.

For Part B I am calculating 9.8/2.7 which equals 3.63. They want two sig. figs. so I put 3.6 and have it wrong. 2.7 is the value I got for the acceleration in part A which was marked correct so I don't know where I am going wrong. I can not proceed until this answer is correct so please help. Thankyou

i did 2.7/9.8 to get .28 and that worked. I think you did the ratio backwards.

im trying to do part c of question 3 and i have my a=2.7m/s(sq) v=27m/s and t=10 i keep getting an answer of 405 when i plug it into the equation on slide 14. im not sure what im doing wrong or if im missing a step?
