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.
Background: Summit Plummet is a high-speed water slide with an alarming 12-story drop. It is both the world's tallest and fastest free-fall body slide. Why It Stands Above the Rest: After the initial shock-drop, the 360-foot-long Summit Plummet flume accelerates riders to an average speed of 50 to 60 mph.
