Michael Jackson hung his baby from a 4th floor balcony, or ~15 meters.
d = 0.5 * a * t^2, a = 10 m/s^2, v = a * t
15 m = 0.5 * 10 m/s^2 * t^2
t^2 = 15 m / (0.5 * 10 m/s^2)
t^2 = 3 s^2
t = 1.73 s
v = 10 m/s^2 * 1.73 s
v = 17.3 m/s
Michael Jackson risked his baby to a crash of 17.3 m/s, or ~38 mph. He is serving 0% of the 30 years given for driving at 75 mph. That ain't right.
