Kinda cool except where he uses FEET in a physics calculation.

Stupid Americans...

They're ENGLISH measurements, you know, from ENGLAND.

Anyway, metric should be used in physics, but it's not like feet are some imaginary measurement...they can be used if they want.

1) Yeah the English were stupid as well, but at least they realised and have moved onto the metric system. America is now the only country holding us back, refusing to move to the metric system for god only knows what reason (presumably because it was invented by the French. Maybe they should call it the "freedom measurement system"). So I still feel justified in saying "Stupid Americans".

2) Yes I am aware feet are a real measurement system, but they, as well as other imperial measurements, shouldn't be used in physics calculations. At first glance, I actually thought he plugged the feet into the formula, but it appears that Google Calculator is smarter than me and worked it out properly for him. So perhaps he's not as stupid as I first thought, thanks to the might of Google Calculator.
