The speed is:

S = 742.5ft

The distance that the parachutist falls in 5 seconds is:

D = 742.5ft

<h3>How to get the speed in feet per second?</h3>

We know that the speed in free fall is:

S = 45 m/s.

We know that:

1 m = 3.3ft

Then we can rewrite the speed as:

S = 45 m/s = 45 *(3.28ft)/s = 148.5 ft/s

Then, the distance that the parachutist falls during 5 seconds is:

D = S*5s = (148.5 ft/s)*5s = 742.5ft
