How long is the jumper in free fall

Reference no: EM13706965

Compute all parts of given question:

Question: Extreme-sports enthusiasts have been known to jump off the top of El Capitan, a sheer granite cliff of height 910 m in Yosemite National Park. Assume a jumper runs horizontally off the top of El Capitan with speed 4.0 m/s and enjoys a free fall until she is h = 210m above the valley floor, at which time she opens her parachute.

Part I: How long is the jumper in free fall? Ignore air resistance.

Part II: It is important to be as far away from the cliff as possible before opening the parachute. How far from the cliff is this jumper when she opens her chute?

Can someone please explain what the heck is going on?
