Very much so. Joe Kittinger went as fast as 714MPH when he jumped from a balloon at an altitude of 102,800ft in 1960. By the time his parachute was deployed he would have been closer to 120MPH. This was meant to answer a different question about atmosphere and speed. My mistake. :(
Get a plastic bag a yougurt cup and string. First poke two holes on the sides of the yougurt put the string in. Tie tightly put a egg in the cup then drop from pourch or roof anything way up high.
You need something that floats, such as a plastic bag.
i would use lots of cotton wool for the egg, and paper towels selotaped together. use selotape to tie the egg to the parachute (done this in school b4)
make a big parachute
Styrofoam.
What you do is take a plastic bag, then tie it to what ever your egg is going into.
Add a parachute and something soft under it
Make the parachute wider/bigger or make the parachute deeper. Make the thing pulling it down lighter. Hope this helps. =)
Use nothing
Place the egg in a bottle filled with water and attach a parachute.
A raw egg (ApexLearning)
I have done this experiment in the past- I created a parachute! 1.The basket of the parachute was made of approx. 12 layers of thick bubble wrap with a cardboard door to keep the egg in. 2.The Parachute was made with a double reinforced thin plastic (a plastic tablecloth will do) It should survive, good luck!
the circular parachute 134.88m/s its average descent followed by a parallelogram one
For a middle school project, you should design a parachute that is the right size for a small action figure. You can make the parachute out of an old pair of parachute pants.
dip the egg in cement and then you can kick it, throw it, or hammer it..... just paint it white
