25 POINTS A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 165 feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, how many meters will the parachutists fall during 15 seconds of free fall in your computations, assume That 1 meter is equal to 33 feet. Do not round your answers

Rate: meters/seconds
Distance fallen in 15 seconds: _m

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

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6
