I’m not gonna finish this. When you state that acceleration’s units are m*s^(-3) instead of m*s^(-2), a stupid mistake that shouldn’t have been made, it makes it hard to trust it and figure out what is correct and what isn’t. Find a different mechanics textbook that’s more reliable and more correct.
