To find the average velocity, we need to divide the total distance dropped by the time it took to drop. The parachute dropped 4.75 meters in 6 seconds.
Average velocity = distance dropped / time taken
Average velocity = 4.75 meters / 6 seconds
Average velocity = 0.79 meters/second
Therefore, the parachutes average velocity is 0.79 (m/s).
The correct answer is A. 0.79 (m/s).
The parachute dropped 4.75 meters. If a teams parachute took 6 seconds to drop what was the parachutes average velocity?
A. 0.79 (m/s)
B. 0.54 (m/s)
C. 0.62 (m/s)
D. 1.26 (m/s)
