Can you survive a skydive with a hole in your parachute?
yes but it depends how big the hole is and if you have a back up parachute
How will punching a hole in a parachute affect the rate at which it falls?
wouldn't the air trapped in the parachute quickly go out, then you will quickly fall until splat on the ground
How big can the hole in a parachute be before it fails?
maybe about 2 or3 feet long.
What are the parts of a parachute?
there are three main parts that come with a parachute. there's the chute, the draglines, and the weight or mass (could be a human). then there's also the hole in the top of the chute.
What are the structural components of a hemisphere design parachute?
The parachute has many different parts including: o VENT which is the hole in the top of the parachute, which stops the parachute from oscillating. o CANOPY which is the material part of the parachute that causes drag o SUSPENTION LINES are the cords that join the passenger/delivery to the canopy P.S is this question by chance for a school assignment, it has the exsact wording of an assignment question I have.
How does the size or shape of a parachute affect the way it works?
If the hole is bigger the parachute speed will decrease
If you put a hole in a parachute why would it fall quicker?
Parachutes are designed to catch the air therefore slowing you down on impact. If there happened to be a hole, the air passes through it, making your impact to the ground faster.
How many goes did it take Leonardo da vinci to make the parachute perfect?
Made a hole in the top, so it would not oscillate from side to side.
Why do parachutes have a hole at the top?
Parachutes have a hole in the top to provide a smoother and more controlled ride. Without the hole the only place air has to go is around the edges of the parachute. When the chute tilts a lot of air spill out the high side, which is destabilizing. The hole lets air pass through, so there is always a flow into and through the chute, so it's not trying to spill out the bottom.
Why do parachutes have holes in them?
A parachute works by trapping air underneath, but when the air is trapped the pressure increases and some of the air has to escape. If there were no hole in the center of a round parachute, such as the military 'chutes used in WW2, the excess air would have nowhere to escape except under the edges of the 'chute, which would cause increasingly violent oscillation and quickly the collapse of the 'chute, which would drop the parachutist to the ground at high speed and kill him. The central hole allows a controlled release of the air pressure in the 'chute, preventing oscillation and the collapse of the 'chute.

What effect will the wind have on the way a rocket is launched?
Wind is a major factor when it comes to launching model rockets. Wind can cause your rocket to go up at an angle or tip over. Wind also effects the recovery/descent process. Wind can blow your rocket very far after the recovery system is deployed (if its a parachute. To reduce the distance of gliding, I'd recommend that you cut a hole in the middle of the parachute.
