My mistake, I didn’t check his math. I thought he was saying if you take distance apart at t(n) and subtract distance apart at t(n-1) you will get distance/sec.

Only if you divide by time. Including units is an essential sanity check.

Also, the rest of the math needs to be correct.

I’m talking about my previous response. I already said their answer is wrong.
