a parachutist first drops freely from an aeroplane for 10 seconds and then his parachute opens out.now he decends with a retardation of 2.5 m/s2.if he bails out of plane at an height of 2495m .find his velocity on reaching the ground

The initial velocity of the parachutist is zero

now V=u+gt

V=0+(-10)10

V=-100 (-sign as the velocity is in downward direction)

Now S=ut+1/2ut^2

so S=0+1/2(-10)*100

S=500

Now H=2495-500

=1995

NOw v^2=u^2+2ah

v^2=10000-2*2.5*1995

v^2=25

v=5

so his velocity on reaching the ground is 5m/s

The velocity v acquired by the parachutist after 10s : 
V=u+gt=0+1/2×10+×10^2=100
Then, s1=ut+1/2gt^2=0+1/2×10×10^2=500
The distance travelled the parachutist under retardation is
S2=2495-500=1995
Let vg  by the velocity on reaching the ground. Then
Vg^2-v^2=2as2
Or.  Vg^2-(100)^2=2×(-2.5)×1995 or vg= 5m/s
