Laura is skydiving when at a certain altitude she opens her parachute and

s toward the ground with a constant velocity of 6.50 m/s, straight down.

What is Laura's displacement if it takes her 34.0 s to reach the ground?

    The motion is under a constant velocity which means she has no acceleration.

    So we can use,

    Velocity = displacement / time taken

    Displacement = velocity * time taken

    = 6.5*34 = 221m

    We consider distance she fall as displacement as she doesn't change her direction.
