What else can I help you with?
Will having a larger canopy make the parachute fall faster or slower?
How smaller, how faster the downglide
Why does a parachute keep you in the air?
It does not 'keep you in the air' a parachute slows down your rate of descent by traping air under the canopy.
How does air speed affects rate of decent of round canopy parachutes?
Increasing air speed will increase the rate of descent of round canopy parachutes due to a higher amount of air resistance acting against the parachute. This increased resistance creates more drag force on the parachute, causing it to fall faster.
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 happens if a parachute canopy is too big?
If a parachute canopy is too big, it may lead to a slower descent rate, which could increase the risk of drifting off course due to wind. It may also reduce the precision and control during landing, potentially leading to a harder impact.
How can you use the word canopy in a sentence?
We fled under the canopy as the rain started to fall.
Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
Changing the weight of a parachute will affect its descent speed. A heavier parachute will fall faster while a lighter parachute will fall more slowly. This is because the weight influences the drag force acting on the parachute during descent.
How does parachutes help to increase air resistance?
Parachutes increase air resistance by capturing a large amount of air in the parachute canopy. This creates drag, which slows down the fall of the object attached to the parachute, allowing for a safer descent. The drag force helps to counteract the force of gravity pulling the object downward.
Who would fall faster at a short distance small parachute or large?
a small parachute becouse it has less air ressitance meaning it traps less air than a big parachute.
Why does a parachute fall to the ground?
Because of gravity
