6. Felix Baumgartner's initial altitude was approximately 39,000 meters above the earth. According to our formula, the time of his fall should have been about 88 seconds, but it took him more than 9 minutes (540 seconds) to reach the ground. Why?

He must not have been as high up as was reported.

He had a special suit that allowed him to breath in outer space.

He was slowed down by the speed of sound.

Air resistance makes it impossible for falling objects to actually reach an acceleration of 10 meters per second squared.

7. After falling for approximately 1 minute, Felix Baumgartner begins to decelerate. Why?

He has opened a parachute, causing him to slow down rapidly.

He has broken the sound barrier, which causes objects to slow down rapidly.

The air closest to the earth is less dense because of solar heat that is reflected off of clouds.
