A parachutist's elevation changes by −66 ft in 6 seconds. What is the change in the parachutist's elevation each second?
Thanks
To find the change in elevation per second, we need to divide the total change in elevation by the total time.
Change in elevation = -66 ft
Total time = 6 seconds
Change in elevation per second = Change in elevation / Total time
Change in elevation per second = (-66 ft) / (6 seconds)
Calculating this, we get:
Change in elevation per second = -11 ft
Therefore, the change in the parachutist's elevation each second is -11 ft.
To find the change in the parachutist's elevation each second, you need to divide the total change in elevation by the time taken.
Given:
Change in elevation = -66 ft
Time taken = 6 seconds
To find the change in elevation per second:
Change in elevation per second = Change in elevation / Time taken
Change in elevation per second = -66 ft / 6 s
Now we can perform the division:
Change in elevation per second = -11 ft per second
Therefore, the change in the parachutist's elevation each second is -11 ft.
