A parachutist's rate during a freefall reaches 126 miles per hour. What is this rate in feet per second? At this rate, how many feet will the parachutist fall during 10 seconds of free-fall? In your computations, use the fact that 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet. Do not round your answers.

0.035

.35

Step-by-step explanation:

in one hour or in 3600 seconds the parachuterfalls 126 miles which means we have the following ratio

seconds:distance

3600:126

we want to find

1:x

To find x we divide 126 by 3600 (we do this because we divided 3600 by 3600 to get 1)

we get 0.035

This means that the parachuter falls at a rate of 0.035 ft/s

To find the distance fallen in 10 seconds we simply multiply 0.035 by 10

I do this and get .35

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
