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.
The fall was said to take about ten seconds. It would vary according to the body position and how long it took to reach terminal velocity â around 125mph in most cases, but if someone fell head down with their body straight, as if in a dive, it could be 200mph.
