What else can I help you with?
Would a parachute help a skydiver in space?
No. A parachute would not help a skydiver in space. A parachute works by taking advantage of air resistance. There is no air in space, so there can be no resistance. Perhaps that's the main reason why the Space Shuttle never deployed its parachutes while it was still in space.
How did the rover get to Mars?
The rover was launched into space aboard a rocket. It traveled through space for around seven months and landed on Mars using a landing system that included a heat shield, parachute, and sky crane for a controlled descent onto the Martian surface.
Why does a space shuttle use a parachute after landing?
The space shuttle uses a parachute after landing to slow down its descent and help it come to a controlled stop. The parachute reduces the impact force on the shuttle and allows for a safer landing for astronauts and equipment onboard.
Why are the moons called satellites?
maybe because they help earth like a real satellite does
What solar system planet has shepherd Moons?
Saturn is known to have shepherd moons. These moons are small natural satellites that help shape and maintain the distinctive rings around the planet by interacting with the ring particles through their gravitational influence.
How do you make parachute stay in the air longer?
You can make a parachute stay in the air longer by increasing its surface area, either by using a larger parachute or by adding more fins or panels to the canopy. You can also try adjusting the weight of the payload attached to the parachute to help it descend more slowly. Finally, make sure the parachute is properly packed and deployed to maximize its effectiveness in the air.
Does air resistance help a parachute slow down?
Of course it does. If there was no air resistance then the parachute would accelerate at the speed of gravity which is 9.8m/s/s. If a human were using a parachute and there was no air resistance then they would die. "Air resists the motion of objects traveling through it because its molecules collide with the molecules of the object. This resistance to the motion is beneficial because the force acts to slow down a parachute jumper's speed of fall. The jumper falls with increasing speed until the parachute is opened. The greater air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute will bring the jumper to a terminal velocity and will enable the parachutist to safely reach the ground".http://amyallen.org/mhs/applied_physics/physics_of_flight/rocket/parachutes_payloads.pdf
Are there moons in Saturns rings?
There are moons in Saturn's rings, they are called shepherd moons because they help keep the rings intact.
You are making a mini-parachute out of tissue paper to make a parachute that will stay in the air as long as possible How can you increase drag so that the parachute will stay in the air a long time?
To increase drag and prolong the time your mini-parachute stays in the air, you can enlarge the surface area of the tissue paper by making the parachute wider or adding flaps. Ensuring that the parachute is lightweight yet structurally sound will also help it catch more air. Additionally, using a heavier string or attachment point can slow the descent, allowing the parachute to float longer. Lastly, creating a shape that allows for better air resistance, like a dome or a wide canopy, can further enhance drag.
Would a parachute help a skydiver in space?
No. A parachute would not help a skydiver in space. A parachute works by taking advantage of air resistance. There is no air in space, so there can be no resistance. Perhaps that's the main reason why the Space Shuttle never deployed its parachutes while it was still in space.
What are the names of the moons circling around the planet help?
Unfortunately there is not yet a planet named Help. For a list of our Solar System moons see related question.
Who packed your parachute?
Who is packing your parachute is sort of like a reflective quote meaning "who is looking out for you and keeping you safe." You don't want to burn your bridges with those who "pack your parachute" such as the friends who keep you company and love you. They're the ones who help you when you need it most... like a parachute.
Why do parachutes help you slow down?
Parachutes help you slow down by increasing air resistance, which creates drag and opposes the force of gravity pulling you down. The larger surface area of the parachute catches more air, significantly slowing your descent and allowing for a safer landing.
How did the rover get to Mars?
The rover was launched into space aboard a rocket. It traveled through space for around seven months and landed on Mars using a landing system that included a heat shield, parachute, and sky crane for a controlled descent onto the Martian surface.
Are the any moons on Venus?
There are no moons in orbit around Venus. It might help you to know there are also no moons orbiting Mercury either. Earth has only one moon, and all the other planets in our solar system have multiple moons. Even the dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.
How does wearing a parachute help the person?
it means that you don't go splat and create a large crater
How did Sir Charles Lyell's work help sientists?
by providing an understanding that most changes on earth's surface happen slowly :) hope this helped!
