During free fall the initial velocity parachutist is 0 m/s and acceleration of the is
According to the newton鈥檚 second kinematic equation,
role="math" localid="1662968239356"
The final velocity of the parachutist in free fall can be calculated as below,
According to the newton鈥檚 third kinematic equation,
This final velocity for free fall of the parachutist is her initial velocity after parachute is open.
According to the newton鈥檚 first kinematic equation,
role="math" localid="1662968456612"
Therefore, the time for which the parachutist is in the air is,
