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.
Calculate the velocity of a falling object. Multiply the height of where the object is dropped by the pull of gravity times 2. In our example, the object is dropped from a height of 10 meters, meaning 10 times 9.8 meters per second (pull of gravity) times 2 equals 196.
