RE: COMMON UNITS



I am not at all certain that using only m/s^2 is the best possible teaching
strategy in teaching kinematics. But we do want to start using the same
units as the rest of the world in everyday situations. How can this be
accomplished without a coordinated effort of many individuals? So let me
repeat. Conversions of common non-metric units to those used by the rest
of the world is a very useful skill. But physicists have already done this
and we must use their units in kinematics.
