How many things do you need for hang gliding?
u need hang glider and parachute
You are making a mini-parachute out of tissue paper to make a parachute that will stay in the air as long as possible How can you increase drag so that the parachute will stay in the air a long time?
To increase drag and prolong the time your mini-parachute stays in the air, you can enlarge the surface area of the tissue paper by making the parachute wider or adding flaps. Ensuring that the parachute is lightweight yet structurally sound will also help it catch more air. Additionally, using a heavier string or attachment point can slow the descent, allowing the parachute to float longer. Lastly, creating a shape that allows for better air resistance, like a dome or a wide canopy, can further enhance drag.
What are the two forces acting on a parachute?
The two forces acting on a parachute are gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing against it as it falls. The parachute's design allows it to create enough air resistance to slow down its descent and increase the time it takes to reach the ground.
How can you increase your chance of surviving a fall from a great height?
Get a parachute
Why does a weight go slower as a parachute gets bigger?
cross sectional area for air resistance is greater as you increase the parachute size.
How do you increase your hangtime punting a football?
There are a couple of things that someone can work on to try to increase the hangtime of a football punt. Obviously, kicking the ball higher would increase the hang time. However, kicking the ball so that it spirals instead of falls end-over-end will increase the hang time because the ball will catch more air resistance from underneath.
How does a parachute reduce the terminal velocity of a person falling through the air?
A parachute increases air resistance, which is proportional to the surface area of the parachute. This increased air resistance slows down the person's fall, reducing their terminal velocity. By the time the person reaches terminal velocity with the parachute open, the gravitational force pulling them down is balanced by the air resistance force pushing up, allowing for a controlled descent.
How does line length affect a parachute?
The length of the lines on a parachute can impact its performance in several ways. Longer lines can increase the amount of drag on the parachute, which can slow its descent. However, longer lines can also increase the risk of tangling or twisting during deployment. Additionally, longer lines can create more potential for oscillations or instability in the parachute system. Ultimately, the optimal line length for a parachute depends on various factors such as the size and design of the parachute, the intended use, and environmental conditions.
When the parachute deploys and opens does stfu slavik increase or decrease drag?
it decreases!
How does an open parachute increase the air resistance of a falling?
by increasing surface area
How does increasing the diameter of the parachute increase it's size?
it makes wider which makes it bigger
How does a open parachute increase the air resistance of a falling skydiver?
by increasing surface area
