Question #275354

A skydiver who's jumped from an airplane has reached a terminal speed of 40.8 m/s . How long will it take them to fall 478 meters? Round to one decimal places if needed.

Expert's answer

Given:

$v=40.8\:\rm m/s=const$

$d=478\:\rm m$

$t-?$

The required time

t=\frac{d}{v}=\rm\frac{478\: m}{40.8\:s}=11.7\: s
