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.
Kings Dominions' Drop Tower does go faster then Kings Island (KD is 72mph compared to KI's 67mph) - so you can say you've been on the fastest one in America! (The one in Australia is the fastest free-fall ride in the world, though).
