Sorry to keep repeating the message, but I want you to be sure you see it.
There is no need for a revision, but see the discussion, especially about what happens to the acceleration:
&#See any notes I might have inserted into your document, and before looking at the link below see if you can modify your solutions. If there are no notes, this does not mean that your solution is completely correct.
Then please compare your old and new solutions with the expanded discussion at the link
