We are given that the parachutist's rate during a free fall is 80 meters per second (80 m/s). The first question asks us to convert 80 m/s into feet per second. Thankfully, it gives us a conversion factor of 3.3 feet = 1 meter. So, since a meter is larger than feet, we will need to multiply 80 by 3.3, which gives us 264 m/s. Therefore, the answer to the first questions is 264 m/s. The second question asks us to find how many feet the parachutist will fall during 5 seconds. To find this, all we need to do is multiply 264 by 5, which gives us 1,320 feet. Hence, the answer to the second problem is 1320 feet. Hope this helps and have a nice day!
