how about "acceleration due to gravity, or about 980 cm/s2" . . . so the more seconds that the object is falling, then the greater the acceleration due to the force of gravity . . . could this explain the "geometric" progression of the numbers on this scale? the greater the period of time during which the object is falling, the greater the acceleration due to gravity?

but I still can't get the numbers to work?

check the link below, re rifle bullet trajectories (a favorite subject)?
