No. When you see a video of a parachutist "moving up" it is because the person with the camera is falling faster than the person they are filming.

What are the 2 forces acting on a parachutist?

Gravity (downwards), and air resistance (upwards).


A 500-N parachutist opens his chute and experiences an air resistance force of 800 N The net force on the parachutist is?

The net force on the parachutist is 300 N (800 N - 500 N = 300 N) in the opposite direction of the parachutist's downward motion. This net force contributes to the deceleration of the parachutist as they descend.


If a 500 N parachutist opens their chute giving an air resistance force of 900 N what is the net force?

If the falling parachutist has a downward force of 500 N, and the air resistance force is 900 N (negative), then the net force is:500 N - 900 N = -400 N So, the parachutist gets a net upward force, causing him to decelerate while continuing to move downward, due to gravity.


When you move upward in the atmosphere what happens to the temperature?

When you move upward in the atmosphere the temperature get lowered.


When a parachutist is moving with a constant speed what happens?

There are two possibilities. One is that he is falling at a constant (positive) speed. In this case, the downward force of gravity is exactly offset by the upward force of drag or air resistance. The parachutist is said to have reached terminal velocity. The second possibility is that he is moving downwards at a constant speed of zero. He has hit the ground! The parachutist may be said to have reached a terminal situation!


What is correct to say parachuter or parachutist?

parachutist


When warm air move upward energy is move by?

Temperature


When A parachutist reaches it terminal speed?

When a parachutist reaches terminal speed, the force of air resistance pushing up on the parachutist equals the force of gravity pulling the parachutist downward. At this point, the net force on the parachutist is zero, resulting in a constant velocity.


What force causes you to move upward when you jump into the air?

The force that causes you to move upward when you jump into the air is the normal force exerted by the ground on your feet. This force opposes the force of gravity acting on your body, allowing you to overcome gravity and move upward.
