A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 65 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.
@Nurali
Speed = ? ft/s Distance fallen in 5 secondss = ? ft
sorrry i fixed it
without doing any math the first thing that comes in mind to me is 32 ft/s=9.8m/s the constants for gravity on earth
@Nurali i fixed it now
is it Speed = 19/69 Distance = 98.45 @Nurali
19.69^
no you want to multiply. not divide
are you supposed to consider the force of gravity at each second. which would be 32 ft/s. or just \[d=vt\]
unless you are supposed to assume he is at terminal velocity at this speed
