From: mikkelhaaheim@gmail.com I suspect that the descrepency is the result of both of us using approximations. If you were to graph out the rate of acceleration at various times during the burn, you would fing that the graph is a curve, and not a straight line. Your initial approximation was based on a horizontal plot, mine on a sloped line, whereas the actual is a logorhythmic curve. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
