it's gonna be six miles per hour per second. so the acceleration of that car is six miles per hour per second. and if that acceleration stays uniform, stays constant, that's to say then as long as it's doing that, every second goes by, the car is going to go be going faster than the second before. by how much? six miles per hour. by six miles per hour. you'll gain six miles per hour every second. ain't that neat? so that's the acceleration of the car. let's suppose i told you this: i have a car that will go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 10 seconds. what's the acceleration? from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 10 seconds. let's see if you can do it at your desk. go. in this case, you're going 100 kilometers per hour and changing to 100 in 10 seconds, and so what do you have over here? 10. 10... kilometers. ...kilometers per hour per second. okay? you get the idea? acceleration is something that you can feel. when you're in a car and accelerate, you can feel that acceleration. in fact, you have controls in the car tha

later on we'll round that off to 9.8 meters per second, per second, okay? but 10s are easier to deal with, right? and we find out that how fast we go is simply the acceleration multiplied to how long you're falling. it makes sense. and how far you go has to do with the time squared. so it's averaging out 5t squared. how we got that is derived in the footnote of your book, and you can kind of go back and look at that if you want. i don't expect you to derive that. i want you to just know this doesn't pop out of the air and magic, okay? there's a reason for this. now, we talked how that came about last time. look it up if you want. what's kind of interesting is the behavior of the ball when it rolls off the table? i don't think i'll roll it off the bottom. it might wake up the people downstairs. but can you--it's gonna kind of curve, isn't it, gang? it's gonna curve. and, you know, that curve wasn't understood for a long time. and when that curve was understood, it was kind of exciting. and let's talk about that. we can kind of show that up here. it's all on

this project has a total of one -- $1.29 4 billion and a total impact of 20 two dollars per month per average bill. when we move to the west side, we focus on the csd discharges along ocean beach, lincoln way, the 70 -- vicente and merced. we had an average discharge our current of 3 per year to the bathing beaches. in doing these analyses, we focused on utilizing the transport storage boxes, the website pump station, and the existing out hall. we looked at various pop stations to get as to the target of three. you may recall that we had 100 stations at a cost of $277 million. we also discussed the possibility that a smaller pond station with green could get us to that target. based on initial analysis, that has been determined that with three could meet the target of three. the cost however would be $290 million. we recommend the two hundred $90 million with the $13 million difference from the $277 million, again, being allocated from the infrastructure $400 million commitment. again, as this project is developed, we can determine the right combination of pumping and infrastructure t

so, 80 mile-per-hour winds. it has slowed down. northwest at 8 miles per hour. and there is the risk that it is going to slow down even more. it's just going to crawl across the coast and there is a lot of march here, a lot of swamp land. there we are not going to see perhaps a weakening like we would if this storm was going to go across land and go quickly. this is going to be a slow, very painful process. unfortunately for folks along the gulf coast, very vulnerable area unfortunately for storm surge and flooding. of course we know it very well. now, tornado watches in effect for the next several hours. from new orleans all the way to panama city. so parts of mississippi, alabama, you could see some strong rotation overnight tonight. these could be rain wrapped tornadoes. so you can't see them coming. know noaah weather raids on. strong band north of that region and some earlier rotations. we will keep an eye on that. shepard, already seeing wind gusts of 64 miles per hour around new orleans. 48 in mobile. and there is the track. the latest update, again, 80 m
