A parachutist's elevation changes by minus
140
ft in 14
seconds. What is the change in the parachutist's elevation each second?
To find the change in elevation per second, we need to divide the total change in elevation by the total time taken.
Change in elevation per second = Total change in elevation / Total time
Given: Total change in elevation = -140 ft, Total time = 14 seconds
Change in elevation per second = -140 ft / 14 seconds
Change in elevation per second = -10 ft/second
Therefore, the change in the parachutist's elevation each second is -10 ft.
To find the change in the parachutist's elevation each second, we can divide the total change in elevation by the number of seconds.
The total change in elevation is -140 ft, and there are 14 seconds.
Dividing -140 ft by 14 seconds gives us:
-140 ft / 14 seconds = -10 ft/second
Therefore, the change in the parachutist's elevation each second is -10 ft.
