A paratrooper jumps from an aeroplane and opens a parachute after 2 s of free fall and starts deaccelerating with \(3 m / s ^2\). At 10 m height from ground, while descending with the help of parachute, the speed of paratrooper is \(5 m / s\). The initial height of the aeroplane is ___________m.
\(\left( g =10 m / s ^2\right)\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 92.5
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

A to B
\(x _1=\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 2^2=20 m\)
\(V =0+10 \times 2\)
B to C
\(5^2=20^2-2(3) x_2\)
\(x_2=\frac{375}{6}\)
\(x_2=62.5\)
C to D
\(x _3=10 m\)
\(H=x_1+x_2+x_3=92.5\)
