Determine the time it will take to descend by parachute from a height of 2 km at a uniform descent speed of 5 m / s?

Distance covered while descending by parachute:
S = V * t, where S is the initial height of the descent by parachute (S = 2 km = 2 * 10³ m), V is the descent speed (V = 5 m / s), t is the descent time (s).
Let us express and calculate the time of descent by parachute:
t = S / V = 2 * 10³ / 5 = 400 s.
Answer: The parachute descent time will be 400 s.
