A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 132 feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 20 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.

Rate ? m/s Distance fallen in 20 seconds ? m

@texaschic101 Help me

So Ive gotten that its 40.23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If 40.23 x 20 = 840.60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I correct ?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

1 m = 3.3 ft.....so 132 ft = (132/3.3) 40 m per sec so at 20 sec....it is 20 m per sec I am not real good at these....so you might need a second opinion

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

wait...I did that wrong....hold on

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

40 m per sec.....so at 20 seconds, it is (20 * 40) = 80 m per second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I GOT IT RIGHT !!!! THANKS SO MUCHHHHH !!!!

OpenStudy (texaschic101):
