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.
At the end of 2 seconds, it moves at 64 feet per second. At the end of 3 seconds, 96 feet per second and so on. In fact, every second it travels 32 feet per second faster. One of the important points to note about falling objects is that however heavy they are, they all fall at the same rate.
