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.
A sky-diver with arms and legs stretched out has a terminal velocity of about 125 mph (56 m/s). With his/her arms and legs tucked in, that terminal velocity can get up to 200 mph (89 m/s). As an object falls, it will have two forces acting on it - gravity pushing down and air resistance pushing up.
