Part I - Multiple Choice Questions (answer on Scantron card)
A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and falls freely under the influence of gravity alone to a maximum velocity of 58.8 (m/s) in 6.00 seconds. At this time, she opens her parachute and after a 4.00-second time interval of constant deceleration, continues to fall with a constant speed of 10.0 (m/s) for 60.0 seconds, reaching the ground. From what initial height (height of the airplane above the ground) did the parachutist jump?
