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.
When a skydiver opens their parachute they move upwards?
When a skydiver opens the parachute, he or she does not move upward, but rather, continues to move downward, but at a slower speed. Sometimes there is an illusion that the skydiver is moving upward, because if there are several people skydiving together, and one of them opens a parachute while the others don't, you will see the skydiver with the open parachute moving upward with relation to the other skydivers. But they are all still moving downward, they are just doing so at different speeds.
What is the Parachute Vavle Cord in a hot air balloon?
It controls the parachute at the top of the balloon. By pulling down on the cord it opens the top, letting hot air out and controlling the decent
After opening the parachute do you go up?
No. In many movies it appears that someone opening a parachute flies up in the air. However, this is because of the perspective of the camera, which continues falling while the person slows down. Gravity continues to pull the person down to the ground, the parachute only slows them down.
How does a parachute reduce the terminal velocity of a person falling through the air?
The parachute increase the surface area and so therefore increase air resistance, slowing the person down, and reducing terminal velocity.
How does a parachute enable a person to jump without getting hurt?
A parachute slows down the descent of a person by creating drag and increasing air resistance. When a person jumps with a parachute, the parachute opens up and generates enough drag to slow down the fall, allowing the person to land safely without getting hurt.

How can you make a parachute with a small area float down slowly?
You have a small person under the small parachute.
When a person skydives from very high distance does the speed in which they are falling continue to increase the entire way down?
After about 10 seconds you reach terminal velocity your speed remains constant till the parachute opens.
After opening the parachute do you go up?
No. In many movies it appears that someone opening a parachute flies up in the air. However, this is because of the perspective of the camera, which continues falling while the person slows down. Gravity continues to pull the person down to the ground, the parachute only slows them down.
Do you go up when you open your parachute?
Yes, you do. When a parachute deploys in mid air on the way down to the ground you go up. Only because when you are moving down the wind is moving up from you. So when the parachute opens and the wind is cought then the wind (going up) pushes the parachute up but only for a little while beause eventually gravity will take control.
Can a person parachute without a parachute?
yes it is possible to parachute without a "parachute" there is a suit which u wear called a squirrel suite i believe which allows the air to be caught acting as a "brake" there for slowing you down but i am not sure if it works completley
What causes a parachute to slow down?
A parachute... •_•
What air slows down a parachute?
Air Resistance slows the parachute down.
How does a parachute reduce the terminal velocity of a person falling through the air?
The parachute increase the surface area and so therefore increase air resistance, slowing the person down, and reducing terminal velocity.
