What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.
Compare the effects of gravity and air resistance on a falling skydiver before and after she opens her parachute?
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.
How does size affect the speed of a falling parachute?
The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.
What causes a parachute jumper to slow down?
A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.
What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?
Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.

What causes a parachute jumper to slow down?
A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.
Why does a weight go slower as a parachute gets bigger?
cross sectional area for air resistance is greater as you increase the parachute size.
What air slows down a parachute?
Air Resistance slows the parachute down.
What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?
Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.
What is a use of air resistance?
A parachute.
Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast?
When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.
Explain how a parachute works using the terms air resistance surface area and gravity?
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
What are the factors that effect air resistance?
size , shape , and speed of the object
