A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 216 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 2 seconds of free fall? Do not round your answers.

There is 1000 meters in 1 kilometer, so 216km = 216000m

Divide 216000 with 3600 (as 1 hr = 60 minutes, and 60 minutes = 3600 seconds).

216000/3600 = 60

60 meters per second

To find 2 seconds, multiply the number found by 2

60 x 2 = 120

120 meters per 2 seconds

hope this helps
