Answer:
250 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that:
1 m= 3.3ft
We can make the conversion from feet per second to meters per second with this procedure:
(
165 ft/s)(1m/3.3ft)=50 m/s
Let be "x" the number of meters the parachutist will fall during 5 seconds of free fall
Knowing that in 1 second the parachutist falls 50 meters, we can calculate "x" by solving the following multiplication:
x= (50 m/s)(5s)
x=250m
