Question

A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 70 meters per second. What is this rate in feet per second? At this rate, 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. Do not round your answers.
rate: ? ft/s

distance fallen in 5 seconds?

Answer 1

Assuming 70 $\frac{m}{s}$ is terminal velocity

1 meter = 3.3 ft 

so 70 meters = 231 


231 $\frac{ft.}{s}$


231 x 5 = 1155 ft.
