Question

A parachute speed during a free fall reaches117 miles per hour What is the speed in feet per second At the speed how many feet will the parachute fall during 10sec in your

Answer 1

Speed is 171.6 ft/s and distance is 1716 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of a parachute = 117 miles per hour.

1 mph = 1.47 ft/s

117 mph = 171.6 ft/s

We need to find the distance it travel during 10 s. We know that the distance covered is equal to the product of speed and time taken. So,

d = vt

`d=171.6\ ft/s* 10\ s\\\\=1716\ \text{feet}`

Hence, this is the required solution.
