What is the highest parachute jump?
Exosphere
What is freefall delay?
In skydiving, freefall delay is the amount of time allowed for the parachuter to freefall, that is, fall without opening their parachute. This is the time from leaving the plane to opening of the parachute.
After opening the parachute do you go up?
No. In many movies it appears that someone opening a parachute flies up in the air. However, this is because of the perspective of the camera, which continues falling while the person slows down. Gravity continues to pull the person down to the ground, the parachute only slows them down.
When skydiver slows down from 54 meters to 4 meters by opening his parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration?
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
Why does opening a parachute slow someone down?
Opening a parachute increases air resistance, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the person down. This increases the time it takes for the person to fall, slowing their descent.
What happens after you open a parachute?
well after opening the parachute it will be filled with air so technically the individual will go down slowly due to air resistance .
What woman jumped the highest number of parachute jumps?
Hana Abbas
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?

What are the odds of a parachute not opening?
The odds of a parachute not opening properly can vary depending on factors such as equipment, training, and environmental conditions. Overall, modern parachutes have redundant safety features to minimize this risk, with failure rates estimated to be very low, around 1 in 1000 jumps. It's important to always follow proper procedures and maintenance protocols to ensure safe operation.
What is the skydiver's downward velocity?
Maximum speed is about 220 to 230mph and can be achieved after about 20 seconds of freefall. Normal parachute opening speed should be not greater that 120mph to avoid damage to the parachute
What acceleration does a parachutist have when falling before opening the parachute?
A parachutist falling before opening the parachute experiences an acceleration due to gravity of approximately 9.81 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to free fall. This acceleration causes the parachutist's velocity to increase as they fall towards the ground.
