last wuestion on my homework and im stumped

sshayer · Answer

this distance is covered in 1 s
multiply by 10 to find distance covered in 10 seconds.

sshayer · Answer

1m=3.3 ft
65 m=65*3.3=?

niksbhalla14mar · Answer

As speed is 65 m / sec so Speed would be (65x 3.3) ft/sec = 195 ft/sec

In free falling case. gravity is 9.8 m/sec2 which means that speed is changing by 9.8m/sec in one second. And Distance dropped is calculated by h=1/2 gt^2. 
So distance in 10 sec would be 490 m.
