What Force Slows Down Parachutes?
drag, which is a specific type of friction.
How do parachutes fly?
the drag causing air to pull on the parachute keeping it gently floating
How does a drag racer stop?
They have parachutes as well as their regular brakes to help them stop from their immense speed.
Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?
Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.
Objects falling through the air experiece a type of friction called?
Aerodynamic drag force, equal to: velocity2 * objects drag coefficient
How can i double click and drag on objects using a mouse?
Don't double click, to drag click and hold the button down as you drag.
What fluid friction slows objects down?
Drag.
What forces act on falling objects?
gravity and drag
What are some sports that use parachutes?
Skydiving, parasailing, car racing, egg drop competitions.
How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity
Which objects will produce the most drag?
Ones that weigh the least.
What doesn't affect rate of descent for a parachute?
Parachutes are interesting aircraft. The major retarding force of classical round parachutes is drag. Weight and drag determine their rate-of-descent. But air spills out of them because they oscillate, too. Since the 1960's parachutes have been designed that acheive lift from their forward motion.
