A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 216 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 2 seconds of free fall? Do not round your answers.

1km = 1000m......so 216 km = (216 * 1000) = 216,000m60 minutes per hr....60 seconds per min...(60 * 60) = 3600 seconds per hr
216,000 / 3600 = 60 m per second <===
after 2 seconds......(60 * 2) = 120m <===
