Question

A parachutist's rate during a freefall reaches 126 miles per hour. What is this rate in feet per second? At this rate, how many feet will the parachutist fall during 10 seconds of free-fall? In your computations, use the fact that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet. Do not round your answers. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.035

.35

Step-by-step explanation:

in one hour or in 3600 seconds the parachuterfalls 126 miles which means we have the following ratio

seconds:distance

3600:126

we want to find

1:x

To find x we divide 126 by 3600 (we do this because we divided 3600 by 3600 to get 1)

we get 0.035

This means that the parachuter falls at a rate of 0.035 ft/s

To find the distance fallen in 10 seconds we simply multiply 0.035 by 10

I do this and get .35
