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.
acceleration of 4.0 m/s2. How long does the block take to reach the bottom? Answer: 3.0 sec 4. An airplane initially flying at a speed of 60.0 m/s accelerates at 5.0 m/s2 for 600 meters. What is its velocity after this acceleration? Answer: 98 m/s 5. A biker passes a lamppost at the crest of a hill at +4.5 m/s. She accelerates down the hill at a constant rate of +0.40 m/s2 for 12 s. How far does she move down the hill during this time? Answer: 83 m 6. A pilot stops a plane in 484 m using a constant acceleration of -8.0 m/s2.
