A skydiver is falling at approximately 28 feet per second. Find the skydiver's change in altitude after 5 seconds

9514 1404 393

  -140 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between speed, distance, and time can be written ...

  distance = speed × time

  distance = (28 ft/s)(5 s) = 140 ft

In 28 seconds, the skydiver changed position by 140 feet. Since the direction is presumed to be down (falling), the change in altitude is -140 feet.

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
