Question

If a parachutist jumped from an airplane flying at an altitude of 10,000 feet and fell at an average free fall speed of 158 feet per second for 17 seconds, what impact will it have on the altitude of the parachutist?

Answer 1

The answer is -2,686

let me tell you why !

the answer would be negative, since the parachutist is descending. so 158 × 17 = 2,686

make that negative.

you get -2,686 !!!! hope that helps :)))
