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.
An object reaches terminal velocity when the downward force of gravity (Fg) equals the upward force of drag (Fd). For example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a free-fall position with a semi-closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 mph or 55m/s).
