How manyuniversities benefitted when an emeritus professor won a distinguished award (which has included NobelPrizes in the past)? The fact of the matter is, given the cost-benefits of granting emeritus status, anyuniversity in question has always been far-and-away the winner.
where g is the acceleration of gravity. The value for g on Earth is 9.8 m/s/s. The above equation can be used to calculate the velocity of the object after any given amount of time when dropped from rest. Example calculations for the velocity of a free-falling object after six and eight seconds are shown below.
If you bungee jump from 100 ft, how fast (in mph) will you be going when you have fallen 75 ft? If you (unfortunately) hit the ground, at what speed will you splat?2. An object is dropped and it takes 2.45 seconds to hit the ground. Estimate theoriginal height of the object and the impact speed.3.
