What will happen if a parachutist opens its parachute before reaching its terminal velocity?
If a parachutist opens their parachute before reaching terminal velocity, they may experience a sudden jerk as the parachute deploys and slows their descent rapidly. This could potentially cause discomfort or nausea. It is generally recommended to wait until reaching terminal velocity before opening the parachute to ensure a smoother deployment.
HOW MUCH SURFACE AREA REQUIRED BY Parachute?
The amount of surface area required by a parachute depends on various factors such as the weight of the load it needs to support, the descent rate intended, and the design of the parachute. Generally, parachutes for humans typically range from 300 to 500 square feet in surface area.
What should be considered when thinking of sky diving for the first time?
The first thing to consider when thinking of sky diving is the safety of the company providing the sky diving. Extensive research should be done on any sky diving company before actually sky diving.
How much does a parachute cost to buy?
It depends on the quality of parachute, but roughly £1000-3000 ($2000-6000).
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.
Can submarines get to the bottom of the sea?
Only if that part of the bottom is within their diving capability, in other words if the bottom is not much deeper than 1,000 feet or so.
How much does a parachute weigh?
The weight of a parachute can vary depending on its size and design. On average, a parachute used for skydiving typically weighs between 20-30 pounds.
Where are good places to go scuba diving?
Characteristically, the majority of recreational scuba diving takes place in tropical waters (which are warm, have good visibility, and lots of brightly coloured marine life to look at) in depths of less than 90 feet of water. Popular destinations for scuba diving holidays include the Caribbean, the Red Sea, Thailand and Australia, although there are many other popular scuba diving destinations in the tropics.Recreational scuba diving also occurs in other environments. Wreck diving is popular in all parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, North Eastern United States and the Great Lakes, where (in each case) the water is cold and visibility is low. Cave diving is also a popular sport, particularly in the US state of Florida. There is even a specialised form of diving known as Ice diving for particularly brave souls. However, these forms of diving are much more dangerous, and usually require much more specialised training and equipment.Some divers also choose to dive deeper than 90 feet, although this considerably increases the risk of decompresion sickness, oxygen toxicity and other dangers of diving. Diving deeper than 130 feet falls within a specialised sphere referred to as "technical diving" which requires considerably greater training and equipment to deal with the risks.
How much does it cost to go diving?
It all depends on the equipment you're using, diving in it's self does not cost a thing.
How do you use a parachute in roblox?
I've never done that but this might work: 1. Jump off the ledge thing 2. wait until you get close to the bottom then bring your parachute out. OR after the other person brings there parachute out. Hope that helps!
What is the meaning of here goes nothing?
It doesn't mean much of anything when you look at it literally, word by word. But as an expression it means "I'm taking a chance, let's see what happens" - "I'm just going to go ahead and take the risk" - "I'm making the jump, hope my parachute opens!"
What height do Army Airborne open their parachute?
I am currently a paratrooper myself and I can tell you that we normally jump at 1250 feet. The parachutes are connected to a static line which is attached to the aircraft and the parachute automatically deploys and is fully inflated after about 4 seconds. After that depending on your weight and how much gear you are carrying you fall at about 20 ft per second until you crash hard into the ground....
