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.
- Anonymous. A: How fast something falls due to gravity is determined by a number known as the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 at the surface of our Earth. Basically this means that in one second, any object 's downward velocity will increase by 9.81 m/s because of gravity.
