Why does an open parachute fall slower then a closed parachute?
Parachute work by trapping air underneath which causes it to slow down by creating drag if it is closed it cant catch air underneath
How does an open parachute increase air resistance of a falling skydiver?
the parachute has a big space area so that when he falls through the air the air molecules get collected by the parachute therefore reducing speed of falling down PS. doesnt mean he doesnt fall at all
What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of a parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
How do you open up parachute?
maybe by pulling on the string?
How does an open parachute increase the air resistance of a falling skydiver?
by increasing surface area
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 fast do skydivers fall through the the air?
A skydiver, falling without an open parachute, will reach a terminal velocity of approx 200 km per hour (55 metres/second).

When did Emilie Sannom die?

Can you use parachute fabric on the moon?
There is no air in the moons atmosphere so a parachute would not open.
