a soldier jumps from an aeroplane with parachute ,after dropping through a distance of 19.6 M, he opens the parachute and decelerates at the rate of 1 metre per second square .if he reaches the ground with speed of 4.6 metre per second how long was he in air?

u = 0, g = 9.8 ms-2, s= 40m , t=?, v=?
s= ut + 1/2 gt2
40= 0 + 1/2 * 9.8* t2
t= root 80/9.8 = 20/7s = 2.86s
v = u+gt = 0+9.8*20/7 = 28ms-1
when the parachutist decdelarates uniformly
u= 28 m/s , a= -2 ms-2 ,v= 2 m/s
t= v-u/t = 2-28/-2 = 13s
s= ut+1/2at2 =28*13- 1/2*2*132
= 364-169 = 195 m
total time in air = 2.86+13 = 15.86 s
height at which parachutist bails out = 40+195 = 235m
