Question

A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches

231
feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, 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 answers.

Answer 1

700 m

Answer 2

1. 231 ft/s = (231 ft/s)*(1 m/(3.3 ft)) ≈ 70 m/s

2. In 10 seconds, the parachutist will fall
.. (10 s)*(70 m/s) = 700 m
