A parachutist’s speed during a free fall reaches 55 meters per second. What is the speed in feet per second? At this speed, how many feet will the parachutist fall during 10 seconds. In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers
You multiply 55 times 3.3 and get an answer of 165. This mean that the person is falling 165 feet every second. Multiply 165 times 10 and get 1650 feet in ten seconds.
