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.
Why does a parachute keep you in the air?
It does not 'keep you in the air' a parachute slows down your rate of descent by traping air under the canopy.
The parachute slows the rocket down by increasing aerodynamic circle?
its not circle its drag
What is the name of the force which slows down a man falling with a parachute?
air resistance , maybe!
What is one example of an outside force that slows down moving objects?
A parachute. Nothing more, nothing less.
What air slows down a parachute?
Air Resistance slows the parachute down.
Why does a parachute works?
Because it catches the air, and slows you down.
How is the falling time of a parachute affected by the shape of the parachute?
if the parachute is wider there will be more air resistance which slows things down and if there are holes the air can pass through which decreases air resistance. so the wider it is the slower it is.the lighter it is the slower it is

Name something that needs to travel slowly through air how does it manage this?
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
How does friction influence the descent of a parachute?
The cloth surface area and the air rubs together causing friction or drag which slows the parachute down.
Why are parachutes used to help a car brake?
Well, because the air catches on to the parachute and it slows it down faster
When skydiver slows down from 54 meters to 4 meters by opening his parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration?
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
What is one example of an outside force that slows down moving objects?
A parachute. Nothing more, nothing less.
