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.
There is no way anyone could fall 573 meters in 10 seconds, because even in a vacuum it would take over 10.8 seconds to fall that far. With zero air resistance, you would only fall 490 meters in 10 seconds. Subject: Re: Height required to achieve terminal velocity. From: racecar-ga on 23 Dec 2002 17:41 PST. Without air resistance, falling from 10 ft means you hit the ground at 17 mph, and falling from 30 ft means you hit the ground at 30 mph.
