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 a human were to jump from 100 feet about ground level, it would take about 2.5 seconds before they hit the ground. (See the Free Fall Research Page Speed-Time table for details. In that 2.5 seconds, an aircraft traveling at 140 miles per hour would cover about 200 feet.
