xD i dont know this stuff yet xD
1. "m/s/s" is the unit of the measurement of acceleration. g is an acceleration, and in this game it has a value of 10 (m/s/s). In order to get the weight of the ship you multiply the mass of the ship by the acceleration due to gravity it is feeling. Thus, your calculation when on the surface of the planet would be 10000kg*10m/s/s = 100000N.
Around the world people say they weight x amount of kg, and this is wrong. They have a MASS of x amount of kg, and they weight x(kg)*9.8(m/s/s).
2. m/s/s is just another way of writing m/(s^2). It is indeed second multiplying second again, but in the denominator. You may not be possible thinking of it in the correct way. "per" refers to something in the denominator, not a multiplication exactly, although it could be. Think of it this way, (Velocity)/s = m/s/s = m/(s^2)
1. In practice, the "m/s/s" is not actually a part of the formula that I need to use, if I understand correctly? So for example making that calculation using the earth-like planet's gravity and a ship with 10000kg mass would in practice be "10000 * 1", right?
2. If by "m/s/s" you mean "m/s^2", then it's wrong, because "something squared" means "something times itself", doesn't it? Rather than "something divided by something".
Or come to think of it, this might actually be a difference in the way it's represented in the English language from the one I am accustomed to. In Finnish "per" does not equal "times" as far as I know, although I'm no mathematician :)
2. The real earth value is presented to prevent the spread of ignorance and misinformation. You do not need to know it for anything dealing with the game.
Hey Koh, thanks for keeping your questions organized and concise.
1. When dealing with acceleration the basic units of measurement look like (m/s^2), which reads either "meters per second squared" or "meters per second per second". When I write "m/s/s" it is the same as writing "m/(s^2)", but is faster to type the former rather than the latter. Now, as to the meaning, the best and most concise way for me to explain acceleration is the following,
You are driving at 10m/s, that is a speed. Now, you press the gas pedal down further and begin to accelerate at 10m/s/s. Thus, after 9 seconds of acceleration, you will be driving 100m/s.
10m/s + (10m/s/s)*(9s) = 100m/s (notice how one of the seconds in the denominator of the acceleration will cancel the unit of second of time in the numerator, and result in your answer being in m/s?)
