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.
A parachutist's elevation changes by minus
140
ft in 14
seconds. What is the change in the parachutist's elevation each second?
