parachute is opened to provide air which manages the slow chute
After waving a lot to the cameras it was time to open the parachute and float down the remaining 5000 ft. Andre opened the chute and manouvered it around a lot to show me the view. He even gave me the controls of the parachute for a while. We landed after 5-6 minutes of parachuting down.http://babayaga.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/12/free-falling-at-13-000-feet.htm
make a big parachute
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
yes it does cause if there was no gravity then ur parachute would be going up
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
A parachute would open ABOVE Mars, just as it would above our planet
Likely
Well if your falling u have to press the a button to open your parachute
Try pulling the emergency cord. Otherwise get another parachute
There is no air in the moons atmosphere so a parachute would not open.
Jumping to a conclusion
maybe by pulling on the string?
When he or she wants the parachute to open
It is called a drogue chute and it stabilizes the jumper and pulls the main parachute out of the container or pack.
A parachute must have suspended weight in order to open. If you have no weight loading the parachute will fail.
Parachute work by trapping air underneath which causes it to slow down by creating drag if it is closed it cant catch air underneath
A parachute allows a person to jump out of a plane and land safely on the ground. A disadvantage is that (rarely) a parachute may fail to fully open and injury and death is likely.
