Her elevation changes feet each second.

1 answer

The change in the parachutist's elevation each second can be found by dividing the total change in elevation by the time taken.

Total change in elevation = -100 ft
Time taken = 10 seconds

Change in elevation per second = (-100 ft) / (10 seconds) = -10 ft/second

Therefore, the parachutist's elevation changes by -10 ft each second.
