Rossi: Death and taxes - Understanding how 'step-up in basis' works. An IRS building in a file photo. It is often said the only certainties in life are death and taxes. Thanks to estate and inheritance tax, it is not uncommon for them to occur simultaneously.
Probable Causes: An engine that hesitates, stumbles or misfires when accelerating or when it is under load, is an engine that is either sucking too much air, not getting enough fuel, or misfiring. If there are no misfire codes, a common cause of acceleration stumble is a bad throttle position sensor (TPS).
The Acceleration Due to Gravity. The magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, denoted with a lower case g, is 9.8 m/s^2. g = 9.8 m/s^2. This means that every second an object is in free fall, gravity will cause the velocity of the object to increase 9.8 m/s. So, after one second, the object is traveling 9.8 m/s.
