interesting: in effect you are, because you have reached the terminal velocity for your surface area, which happens to be very large!

if wrong, someone please correct me.

What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?

In free fall parachuting, the jumper exits the aircraft on their own and experiences a period of free fall before deploying the parachute. In static line parachuting, the parachute is deployed automatically upon exiting the aircraft due to a cord (static line) connected to the aircraft.


What is the definition of free-falling parchute?

"Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored. An open parachute does not normally fall in this category."Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored.

How does a parachute effect free fall?

If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.


Does a parachute have free fall motion?

Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.


Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?

The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).


Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?

How long is the jumper in free fall if the parachute opens at 1000 ft?

Assuming the jumper free falls from an airplane at a typical altitude of 12,000 ft, it would take approximately 12 seconds to fall the first 1000 ft. If the parachute opens at 1000 ft, the jumper will then have a controlled descent for the remaining distance to the ground.


How do you use the parachute in gta 4 Liberty City?

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.
