Question:medium

A person wearing a parachute jumps off a plane from a height of 2 km from the ground and falls freely for 20 m before his parachute opens. After his parachute opens if he continues to move uniformly with the velocity attained due to his freefall, the total time taken by the person to reach the ground is (Acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms$^{-2}$)

Show Hint

Break down complex motion problems into simpler parts. Identify the type of motion in each part (e.g., freefall, uniform velocity) and apply the appropriate kinematic equations for each segment. The total time or distance is the sum of the values from each segment.
