Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the given quantities
  • \( d_1 = 315 \) meters
  • \( t_1 = 8.9 \) seconds
  • \( d_2 = 895 \) meters
  • \( t_2 = 132 \) seconds
Step 2: Calculate the average speed before letting out the chute

The average speed before letting out the chute is given by: \[ v_{\text{avg,1}} = \frac{d_1}{t_1} \]

Step 3: Calculate the average speed after letting out the chute

The average speed after letting out the chute is given by: \[ v_{\text{avg,2}} = \frac{d_2}{t_2} \]

Final Answer

The expressions for the skydiver's average speeds are: \[ v_{\text{avg,1}} = \frac{d_1}{t_1} \] \[ v_{\text{avg,2}} = \frac{d_2}{t_2} \]
