Question

A parachutist’s speed during a free fall reaches 165 feet per second. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 10 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=750m$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Assuming$ $That$:

$1m=3.3ft$

We can make the conversion from feet per second to meters per second with this procedure:

$(165 \frac{ft}{s} ) (\frac{1m}{3.3ft} )=50\frac{m}{s}$

Let $x$ be the amount of meters the parachutist will fall during 15 seconds of free fall

Having that in 1 second the parachutist falls 50 meters, we can calculate $x$ :

$x=(50\frac{m}{s} )(15s)$

$x = 750 m$
