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.
If the egg falls from 3 feet, the velocity is 13.9 feet per second, or 23% faster. If you drop it from 8 feet, the speed is 22.6 feet per second. It will take a lot more padding to protect an egg falling that fast.
