Would a parachute be balanced when it falls?
As long as it is not accelerating (going faster and faster, or slower and slower), the forces on the parachute are balanced. Initially, the parachute will accelerate - in this case the forces are unbalanced. It will continue accelerating, until the force of gravitation is balanced by the force of resistance.
Is forces on the parachute upthrust and down force?
Up thrust because the air pushes up and fills up the parachute.
What two forces act on a parachute when it falla can you draw a diagram?
The force of gravity and the force of the friction of the parachute moving through the air. I can not draw a diagram on this forum.
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.
What causes a parachute jumper to slow down?
A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.

What forces stay the same when a sky diver's parachute opens?
Terminal velocity. I'm pretty sure that's what your asking.

When was the Parachute Regiment first formed?
The Parachute Regiment, or Paras, is the British Army airborne unit and is attached to the Special Forces Support Group, or SFSG. It was first formed in 1941 during World War II as the 11th Special Air Services Battalion, later changed to the 1st Parachute Brigade.
Who are the best paratrooper forces in the world?
The British Paras, The Parachute Regiment, the elites and famous p company selection and the founders of the red beret which is adapted to all airborne forces around the world
What do the paratroop regiment do?
the paratroop regiment are an elite forces regiment of the british army who go in via planes and parachute down hence the word "para"
What is a small parachute called?
a small parachute, is a small parachute, ther is no technical name for it. :) a small parachute is called a drogue
What is the SFSG in the british army?
SFSG. Special Forces Support Group. This group involves the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment, F Coy Royal Marines and an element of RAF Regiment. They all have to pass Pre-Parachute Training ( P-Coy) and pass the parachute course at Brize Norton. be in the SFSG. personnel are chosen to be put forward through special training. The SFSG support the UKSF ( United Kingdom Speical Forces) on operations, so they have to go through special training and chosen carefully.
