Will having a larger canopy make the parachute fall faster or slower?
How smaller, how faster the downglide
What happens if a parachute canopy is too big?
Depending on the mass of the payload, it would fall more slowly than usuall.
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.
Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.
What is the best way to make a parachute?
We did a parachute experiment at school, and we investigated 2 variables. They were the canopy size and the material of the canopy. We found that the bigger the canopy, the slower the parachute will go. Also, the lighter the material, the slower it will go. Well if you use house hold materials you could use a grocery bag , string , and a paper cup to put things in and you'll also have to use a knife to put holes on please have an adult with you. warning- don't put any thing over 3 pounds in the paper cup. OR. Heat rises so if you put a candle at the bottom the parachute could stay in one place or actually RISE!
What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of a parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
How does a parachute effect free fall?
If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
To lift the parachute up people carry light weights in it. So if light weights are needed to lift the parachute up heavy weights will fall the parachute quicker.
How can you use the word canopy in a sentence?
We fled under the canopy as the rain started to fall.
Why does a parachute fall to the ground?
Because of gravity
Why does it take longer for the parachute to reach the ground?
Because the parachute is catching the air, slowing down the fall
What does plummetting mean?
plummeted means to fall from a plane and not to have a parachute that will protect you from hitting the ground to hard.
