Gene, You are correct.
Thanks you for the correction. Another example of how we can mess things up if we don't use them frequently. I knew the orders of the equations went from a constant to a first order and then to a second order. I just looked at the seconds squared term of the units for acceleration and let myself get the whole relationship backwards. I appologize for the confusion.
