Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?
No, a parachute would not work on a lander descending to the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to create the needed drag for the parachute to slow down the descent. Other methods such as retro-rockets or thrusters are used for landing on the Moon.
Why a parachute would not be useful in landing on the moon?
Parachutes work because the resistance of the atmosphere slows them down.The moon has no atmosphere to speak of, therefore it would not impede the progress of a parachute. it would simply fall like a brick..Because there is or no air on moon parachutes need air to work. in other words a parachute on the moon would fall as fast as a block of leadActually there is gravity on the moon, but there is no air to slow the parachute down, and so it wouldn't make any difference to the falling speed.Parachutes need an atmosphere to work by causing air drag. The moon haven't got enough atmosphere for that to happen.
Why can't you use a parachute to land a lunar module on the Moon?
You could! There's not very much available atmosphere for that method to be very effective.
What will happen if we jump with the help of parachute on the moon's surface?
There is no atmosphere on the moon. The parachute will not open. [The good news is: at one-sixth (1/6) the gravity, you will only hit with one-sixth the force.]
What would happen if you tried to parachute from a hovering spaceship on the moon?
A parachute requires air (or an atmosphere) to work. So the parachute would be useless and fall at the same rate as you. Depending on your height, you would probably sustain severe injury and die.
What are the action and reaction force on the fabric of the parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the fabric of the parachute, and the reaction force is the fabric of the parachute pushing back against the air. This interaction creates drag, slowing down the descent of the person or object attached to the parachute.
Why didn't they use a parachute while landing on the moon?
There's no air

What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of the parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the tension force exerted by the parachute on the air molecules it displaces downward. The reaction force is the equal and opposite drag force exerted by the displaced air molecules on the parachute fabric, which slows down the descent of the parachutist.
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 do you use to make air puppets?
You would need fabric (nylon is best, a.k.a. parachute fabric) Cut out your puppet pattern, double stitch the fabric together. Then you need a fan, or some other type of air or wind blowing device, and a light.

Why are the gores on a parachute cut out in triangles and sewn together across the fabric?
Logically I would think that it's for practicality of the dimensions of the bulk fabric, and strength. A round parachute is a fairly simple machine, though there are many variations. Martin Myrtle www.aircapitaldropzone.com
What are the main parts of a parachute?
The main parts of a parachute are the canopy (the fabric that catches the air to slow descent), the lines (cords that connect the canopy to the harness), the harness (the straps that attach the parachute to the user), and the deployment mechanism (the system that releases the parachute to open).
Would a Parachute work on the moon?
A parachute works on Earth by effectively 'trapping air' inside of it, creating a large surface area and so a large amount of wind resistance or friction. As there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air to be trapped and therefore no friction. So no, a parachute would not work on the moon.A parachute works using air resistence. There is no air on the moon. Therefore a parachute would only pull you down faster. If ur planning on going to the moon i suggest you try a jetpack.
Why can't you use a parachute to land a lunar module on the Moon?
You could! There's not very much available atmosphere for that method to be very effective.
How does fabric affect parachute hangtime?
The fabric of a parachute significantly influences its hangtime due to its weight, porosity, and aerodynamics. Lighter fabrics allow for a slower descent and longer hangtime by reducing the overall weight of the parachute. Additionally, the porosity affects air resistance; less porous materials can create more lift and slower descent rates. Overall, the choice of fabric plays a crucial role in optimizing performance during freefall and descent.
