Answer:
55.66 m
Explanation:
While falling by 50 m , initial velocity u = 0
final velocity = v , height h = 50 , acceleration g = 9.8
v² = u² + 2gh
= 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 50
v = 31.3 m /s
After that deceleration comes into effect
In this case final velocity v = 17 m/s
initial velocity u = 31.3 m/s
acceleration a = - 61 m/s²
distance traveled h = ?
v² = u² + 2gh
(17)² = (31.3)² - 2x 61xh
h = 690.69 / 2 x 61
= 5.66 m
Total height during which he was in air
= 50 + 5.66
= 55.66 m
