1. To save Luke, Darth Vader throws Emperor Palpatine down a reactor shaft in the New Death Star. Here is some data on the Emperor’s fall:

○The reactor shaft is 100.3m in length ○Emperor Palpatine fell for a total of 7.4 seconds

How fast did Emperor Palpatine fall? Assume he fell in a perfectly straight line. Assume he fell at a constant speed the entire time. You of course may use a calculator but show all work.
Round your answer to the nearest tenths place! Include all units!
***Remember to use the 3 line method: write formula, plug into formula, solve formula***
