Answer:
Parachutist will fall 396 feet in 2 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 135 miles per hour.
We have to calculate this rate in feet per second.
Rate = 135 [tex]\frac{miles}{hour}[/tex]
= 135×[tex]\frac{5280}{60\times 60}=135\times \frac{5280}{3600}[/tex] feet per second
= 135×1.467 feet per second
= 198 feet per second
Now we have to calculate the fall of the parachutist during 2 seconds.
Fall = 198×2 = 396 feet
