Gravity is basically a force that causes two objects to move towards each other. That's why surface gravity for planets is usually explained in the unit for acceleration. 

Quite honestly I haven't gone to physics in depth for a while, and haven't done math regularly so I can't explain this better than this.
You explained it well enough for me to understand. If you had used FPS (Feet Per Second) I would have understood. Muzzle Velocity is measured in FPS :)
FPS is the unit used to show all other gamers that my desktop is better at gaming than theirs! Frames Per Second. We can't share!

Hear hear!

Besides the imperial system is just stupid.

What's the point of naming a static measurement according to human body parts, when human body parts have incredible variety in sizes between individuals. Especially when there's already a perfectly functional system for measuring units that is not named after confusing things. Also. Cups. Who in the h*ll invented cups as a measurement? Do you know how many different sizes cups come in???

Anyway,
GAYMER RIGHTS <3 reclaim the fps! Our PCs deserve better <3

Video games are great for kids and teens since it keeps them off the street and out of trouble.

Muzzle Velocity has been measured in Feet Per Second since before the Civil War. I have spent basically the last hour searching both Yahoo & Google & even thought I can find all kinds of information on Muzzle Velocity, none of my searches found any reference for when it was first used, or when it was first measured in feet per second. The only thing I found with a date was about the Civil War.

You realize that's only in the US. In Europe muzzle velocity is told in m/s (meters per second), seeing as Europe uses the metric system and thus is taught to use primarily that. It would be silly otherwise.

I forgot! Gamers are ancient and wise, far beyond the understanding of your ken. Just because you are now aware of us, doesn't mean we did not exist before you saw us.

Fun fact: I'm pro gun-control (in my own country that is working out just fine but our circumstances are specific to us), I wouldn't hunt myself but I have no issue with responsible hunting, where the purpose is to hunt food and to use the animal practically. I am afraid of guns because I'm afraid of loud noises, so I would never want to learn to use one, but very recently I started going to classes a local archery hobbyist group is holding. As it is I'm still learning how to even properly draw a bow, but I can see myself finding relaxation in archery.

Please no one turn this to discourse. I just wanted to explain my appreciation for archery, and my feelings on guns and stuff sort of relate to it, because my dad hunts ducks and I became interested in archery as a way to relate to my father a little more, even if it's just through learning to use a weapon I never intend to use for hunting. I just wouldn't enjoy squatting around in a forest among the swarms of mosquitoes.
