A. 5 meters
B. 50 meters
C. 500 meters
D. 5,000 meters

Answer 1

The skydiver falling at a constant speed of 50 meters per second for 10 seconds will travel 500 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a skydiver falls at a constant speed of 50 meters per second for 10 seconds, we can calculate the distance traveled using the formula distance = speed × time. So, the distance traveled is 50 meters/second × 10 seconds which equals 500 meters. Therefore, the skydiver will travel 500 meters while falling for 10 seconds.
