A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 68.6 m/s in 7.00 seconds. She then pulls the parachute cord and after a 3.3-second constant deceleration, descends at 10.5 m/s for 9.2∗1019.2∗101seconds, reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump? answer in meters. (assume g = 9.8 ?/?2m/s2 )
