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.
Well, to do that, you would have to go pretty quickly. The speed needed to escape the earth or escape velocity is about 11,200 meters per second or 7 miles per second. Think about when you throw something up into the air.
