Answer 1

Speed of the parachutist is meters per second
`2.083` meter per second

Distance travelled in 2 seconds
`4.167` meter

Explanation:

Speed of the parachutist is kilometers per hour = 180

Speed of the parachutist is meters per second
`(180*1000)/(24*60*60) = 2.083` meter per second

Distance travelled in 2 seconds
`2.083 *2 = 4.167` meter
