Why the mass with no parachute fell fastest?

Mass is always drawn to other mass. This is what produces the effect of Gravity, which is responsible for pulling the mass downward. When falling, there is one major factor which controls how quickly it falls--friction. The greater the surface area of the object, the greater the friction of air passing it, and slowing it down. The parachute adds a great amount of surface area without much extra mass, so the air-resistance (friction of air against it) is much greater. This causes it's "terminal velocity" (the greatest speed at which it can fall) to decrease dramatically. The end result is that because of the "difficulty" the air has getting around and past the object as it falls, the object dropps much more slowly. Take away the parachute, and it will drop much more quickly.


Can you survive falling 14000 ft?

The only way I know to survive is to use a parachute (oxygen may be a problem, though), or have the fall be a virtual one rather than real. ****it was on the news recently that a man survived a free fall after his parachute failed at around 10,000 ft. so i suppose the answer is yes. It can also depend on what you land on and also if you are conscious when you land because if you pass out your body goes limp. I fell from around 20ft and luckily got up and walked away with a graze and a headache. I suppose its down to luck as well.


Did the twin towers fall at the same time?

No, the second tower (the one which was hit by the second plane) collapsed a few minutes after the first tower.


What happens when parts of a plane fall of?

If parts of a plane fall off during flight, it can lead to a loss of control, structural damage, and potentially a crash. Modern aircraft are designed with redundancy and safety features to prevent catastrophic failures, but any loss of parts in the air is a serious issue that requires immediate action by the pilot and can compromise the safety of the flight.


What is the past tense of free-fall?

"They have free- fallen" "They free-fell"

Did a skydiving cameraman die in 1988 because he had no parachute?

Yes, a skydiving cameraman named Michael "Mike" McKenzie died in 1988 after jumping from a plane without a parachute. He was filming a tandem skydive when he accidentally exited the aircraft without his parachute. Tragically, he fell to his death, highlighting the importance of safety precautions in extreme sports.


Has anyone survived falling from a plane with a faulty parachute?

Yes for sure. I read a book once about a WW2 B-17 bomber crewman who fell from 5,000 feet, with a faulty parachute, and landed at an angle on a mountain with powdery snow that allowed him to sustain only minor injuries. The book is called Bomber Boys if you want to check it out. I highly reccomend it.

Who was the highest survivor from parachute not opening?

The highest recorded survival from a parachute not opening is held by Vesna Vulović, a Serbian flight attendant. In 1972, she fell approximately 33,000 feet (10,160 meters) from a plane that exploded in mid-air. Remarkably, she survived the fall, attributed to landing in a snowy, forested area and being cushioned by the trees and snow. Vulović's incredible survival story has made her a notable figure in aviation history.

If you fell off mt Everest without a parachute how long would it be before you hit the ground?

There is no 'drop' on Mount Everest, it slopes all the way up, so if you fell, you would hit the ground where you had been standing, and then slide a long way.
