Question

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 50 meters per second. What is this speed in feet per second? At this speed, how many feet will the parachutist

fall during 5 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

speed of parachutists will be 50×3.3= 165 feet per second.

Explanation:

hence distance traveled = speed × time taken

=165×5

=825 feet
