Answer to Question #70705 in Mechanics | Relativity for Ashley

Question #70705
this answer is incorrect. The algebra got messed up when you went from (g^2)(t^2)/(2gt)= (gt^2)/2
It is (gt)/2.
The tsquared is incorrect there. Messed me up for a good 30 minutes trying to figure out how that was true, I realized it is not true.

I don't really know what did you try to do in this algebra expression. However, the result is not correct. As you wrote before, it must be gt/2. When you dividing t^2 by t, you will get only t and when you dividing g by g, you will get 1, which is traditionally not written in the expressions.

Exactly and that is why the answer is not correct on here because the person doing the problem left it at t squared.
