What height do skydiver falling from 13000ft open his parachute?

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

If a shoe is dropped from a height of 40m what is its speed after falling for two seconds?
Regardless of the height from which it is falling, (neglecting air resistance) it's speed will be 19.62 metres per second. (Acceleration from gravity is 9.81 metres per second squared, so after 1 second it is moving at 9.81 metres per second and after 2 seconds it is moving at 19.62 metres per second.
An infant's reaction to the visual cliff is supposed to measure her?
It is meant to measure his or her depth perception skills and ability to associate height with the possibility of falling. Babies develop the ability to understand on some level not to crawl off of high places.
What is the height of collimation?
The height of collimation is the height of the line of sight. It is the vertical distance of the horizontal plane through a telescope.
Height is to inches weight is to?
Height is to inches as weight is to pounds.
What is the average 12 year olds height?
The average height for a 12 year old will depend on several things such as genetics. Many 12 year old are between 4'5" in height up to 5'5" in height.
Why a person without a parachute falls fast than a person without a parachute falling from same height?
if there is no air then both will take same time.But due to presence of air person who is without parachute will take less time.
How do you parachute on battlefield 3?
It all depends on the height you are falling, press A on xbox or X on ps3. It will prompt you to deploy shoot at the bottom of the screen

How can you increase your chance of surviving a fall from a great height?
Get a parachute
Why a parachute descends slowly where the stone dropped from the same height falls rapidly?
Parachute has more drag (air resistance)
How do you fall without a parachute and not die?
It all depends at the height in which you fall, the surface in which you land, and the position in which your body lands. There has been a case in which a skydiver hit the ground when his parachute did not deploy and he survived. Though his body had massive trauma which he will live with. Recently this summer, British stuntman Gary Connery completed the first intentional skydive from a helicopter using a wingsuit and landed in an enormous long pile of cardboard boxes. He did this successfully without sustaining any injuries.
How do parachutes help skydivers land safely?
The large area of a parachute canopy increases wind resistance greatly, slowing the fall, and permitting the skydiver to steer towards a landing spot.when the skydiver jumps out of the plane his weight makes him accelerate, soon the air resistance balances out the forces, but his terminal velocity is too great for him to land safely, son he opens a parachute, the parachute makes the air resistance greater, as it has a larger surface area. soon the air resistance, and the weight are balanced, but now the parachutist is going slowly enough to land safely, and not kill himself.air resistance increases greatly when the parachute is opened and that results in the deceleration of the skydiver; As a result, The skydiver will reach a speed appropriate for landing safely.The canopy (parachute) has multiple cells. The nose (front) of the canopy is open but the back is closed which pressurises the canopy during forward flight and thus maintains the aerodynamic shape of the canopy which generates lift.The slider, a square shaped fabric with four round gommits in the corners separates the lines, the lines from the nose to the front and those from the steering brake line to the rear. The slider slows the opening down so that the deceleration is controlled.The canopy is controlled by pulling on the toggles, the left toggle for a left turn and visa versa.A final turn is made relatively close to the ground so that the landing is into wind, thus reducing the ground speed and just prior to landing, the skydiver pulls down on both toggles to induce a flare which slows and stalls the canopy for a generally soft stand up landing.By creating a large surface that has a high wind resistance, a parachute slows the fall of a sky diver- and permits them to guide the direction of their descent. Falling slower = good.i think that it balances out the force of gravity pulling you down with air resistance so you reach the ground at a sensible speed hence not getting hurt.
What does jumpline mean?
It may have other meanings but one of them is the minimum height from which it is safe to parachute.
What is a rush of water falling from a height?
A waterfall
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.
