What will happen if a parachutist opens its parachute before reaching its terminal velocity?
During free fall, the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity (a constant velocity) of somewhere between 120 and 180 miles per hour. (If you go feet first, you go faster than if you lie on your back or front). When the parachute opens (hopefully), the terminal speed is reduced to around 12 miles/hour.
What does skydiving feel like?
Skydiving is a great feeling and very much unlike a roller coaster. There is a gently sensation of floating. Yes you are going fast (around 120mph), but when strapped to a tandem instructor, it feels safe. This experience lasts for approximately 45 seconds before you feel a sudden deceleration as the instructor opens the parachute at around 5000ft. I thoroughly recommend sky diving as a fantastic adrenaline filled adventure.
What should be considered when thinking of sky diving for the first time?
The first thing to consider when thinking of sky diving is the safety of the company providing the sky diving. Extensive research should be done on any sky diving company before actually sky diving.
How much does a parachute weigh?
90 lb
How much does a parachute cost to buy?
It depends on the quality of parachute, but roughly £1000-3000 ($2000-6000).
Can submarines get to the bottom of the sea?
Only if that part of the bottom is within their diving capability, in other words if the bottom is not much deeper than 1,000 feet or so.
What happens immediately after skydiver opens her parachute?
When her parachute opens, the air resistance increases. Now there is a resultant force going upwards on the parachute. The increase in air resistance occurs because when the parachute is opened there is a much larger surface area (than before) so the particles of air are much more likely to get 'caught up' in the parachute unable to pass easily, therefore creating more air resistance (an upwards force) and so slowing down the parachutist. NOTE: The parachutist does NOT move upwards after the parachute has opened, they just slow down. This effect comes from when a parachutist with a camera is filming opposite, they are still falling rapidly while the other person's parachute has opened, therefore passing them as they continue to freefall, and so the parachutist opposite appears to move upwards after opening the parachute.
Where are good places to go scuba diving?
Characteristically, the majority of recreational scuba diving takes place in tropical waters (which are warm, have good visibility, and lots of brightly coloured marine life to look at) in depths of less than 90 feet of water. Popular destinations for scuba diving holidays include the Caribbean, the Red Sea, Thailand and Australia, although there are many other popular scuba diving destinations in the tropics.Recreational scuba diving also occurs in other environments. Wreck diving is popular in all parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, North Eastern United States and the Great Lakes, where (in each case) the water is cold and visibility is low. Cave diving is also a popular sport, particularly in the US state of Florida. There is even a specialised form of diving known as Ice diving for particularly brave souls. However, these forms of diving are much more dangerous, and usually require much more specialised training and equipment.Some divers also choose to dive deeper than 90 feet, although this considerably increases the risk of decompresion sickness, oxygen toxicity and other dangers of diving. Diving deeper than 130 feet falls within a specialised sphere referred to as "technical diving" which requires considerably greater training and equipment to deal with the risks.
How much does it cost to go diving?
It all depends on the equipment you're using, diving in it's self does not cost a thing.
How do you use a parachute in roblox?
I've never done that but this might work: 1. Jump off the ledge thing 2. wait until you get close to the bottom then bring your parachute out. OR after the other person brings there parachute out. Hope that helps!
How deep can people swim in the ocean?
In a bathysphere, where the inside is at atmospheric pressure, tens of thousands of feet. In a hard suit, where the inside is at atmospheric pressure, a thousand feet depending on the suit. Ditto submarines. SCUBA diving with compressed air, about 100 feet before you get nitrogen narcosis. Free diving, with weights pulling you down, I think the record is something like 500 feet. People die trying this. "Technical" diving, with oxygen/argon/helium mixtures, hundreds of feet. Records are much deeper than people can actually work. Note: messing around diving with home-made compressors or no training can kill you real fast.
What is the meaning of here goes nothing?
It doesn't mean much of anything when you look at it literally, word by word. But as an expression it means "I'm taking a chance, let's see what happens" - "I'm just going to go ahead and take the risk" - "I'm making the jump, hope my parachute opens!"
