Identify one factor that would affect the time of a parachutes fall?
The surface area, mass and the shape of the parachute affect the time of fall of the parachutes. Also the height, where the parachute have been dropped from. ( There are more factors that this).
Why a parachute descends slowly where the stone dropped from the same height falls rapidly?
Parachute has more drag (air resistance)
What variables do you think might affect the height to which a dropped ball will bounce?
Gravity, air resistance, the material of the ball, and the height from which it was dropped initially.
How does weight affect a parachute?
weight would affect a parachute if you put a 500lb man on a parachute and dropped him gravity would make him travel faster towards the ground compared to if you placed a 92lb boy on a parachute as the parachute applies the same force to both of them but the man weighs more so takes more to slow down and therefor lands down on the ground first By Alister Kelly
What are some example of activities or inventions that manipulate air resistance to slow things down or speed them up?
identical masses dropped from the same height with and without a parachute
What design factors affect the stability of a parachute?
Parachutist weight. Gravity. Wind flow. Landing speed. Jump height. Weather.
What height do you have to deploy a parachute?
30,000 feet
How does the height a boucny ball is dropped from effect the height it bounces to?
The higher the height the ball is dropped from, the higher the height it will bounce to.
What factors affect the bounce of a dropped ball?
The factors that affect the bounce of a dropped ball include...... the height from which it is dropped; the force applied to it, if any, when dropped; the acceleration of gravity, which is different depending upon what planet you're on ; the elasticity of the ball; the density of the atmosphere, which affects "air resistance"; and the rigidity and elasticity of the surface on which the ball bounces.
Does the length of the string affect a parachute?
no
Does the size of a parachute affect its performance?
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...
Bombs use fins or parachutes for stabilization in flight?
Aerial bombs can use both . Fins are used to stabilize the bomb when dropped from a significant height whereas a bomb using a parachute allows the bombing plane to escape the blast effects of the bomb when dropped at lower altitudes .
