Question

A skydiver jumps out of an airplane . After 0.8 second. She has fallen 100 feet. After 3.1 seconds she has fallen 500 feet. Emtiaz says that the skydiver should fall about 187.5 feet in 1.5 seconds. Is his answer reasonable? Explain

Answer 1

Yes because when you add 0.8 plus 0.8 which equals 1.6sec she falls 200 feet and since 1.5 sec is less than 1.6 sec the answer will be less than 200 but more than 100.
