Question

A parachute descends at the rate of 25m per minute. At a given point of time, it
was at a height of 1850 m above the ground level. How long will it take to reach
the height 250 m above the ground level? Show your working with clear steps
written.

Answer 1

Answer:

64 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of descent = 25 m/min

If at one point, height of parachute = 1850 m above ground level,

Then time taken to go down to 25 m above ground level = [(1850-250) ÷ 25] min

= [1600 ÷ 25] min

= 64 min
