Question

Problem Page A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 264 feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 2 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

First change feet into meters

264/3.3 =80 meters per second

If you want to find out in 2 seconds, multiply rate by 2

80 times 2 is 160 meters
