Which parachute has a slower decent: a orange parachute that falls at 12 feet in 5 seconds or a green parachute that falls at 14 feet in 7 seconds? *

Respuesta :

Answer:

Green parachute

Explanation:

Orange parachute

• Distance = 12 feet

,

• Time = 5 seconds

Rate of descent = 12/5 =2.4 feet/seconds

Green parachute

• Distance = 14 feet

• Time = 7 seconds

Rate of descent = 14/7 =2 feet/seconds

Since 2 is less than 2.4, the green parachute has a slower descent.
