Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 23 January (Evening Shift)

A paratrooper jumps from an aeroplane and opens a parachute after 2 s of free fall and starts decelerating with 3 m/s2. At 10 m height from ground, while descending with the help of parachute, the speed of paratrooper is 5 m/s. The initial height of the airplane is m. (g = 10 m/s2)

  1. 92.5
  2. 62.5
  3. 20
  4. 82.5

Answer

(1) 92.5

Solution

Free fall for 2 s: v1 = gt = 10 2 = 20 m/s

h1 = 12gt2 = 12 10 4 = 20 m

With parachute (retardation 3 m/s2) until speed is 5 m/s:

v2 = v12 - 2ah2 25 = 400 - 6h2

h2 = 3756 = 62.5 m

This point is 10 m above the ground.

Initial height = 20 + 62.5 + 10 = 92.5 m

Answer: (1)

Ques. 5JEE Main 2025, 2 April (Morning Shift)

A person travelling on a straight line moves with a uniform velocity v1 for a distance x and with a uniform velocity v2 for the next 32x distance. The average velocity in this motion is 507 m/s. If v1 is 5 m/s then v2 = m/s.
