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.
â¢ For example, after six seconds an averageâsized person will have fallen 504 feet. will fall about 138 feet, averaging a speed of about 95 miles per hour. another 174 feet at a speed of about 118 miles per hour. â¢ The table on the following page shows the values used in the graphic.
