Does the amount of holes in a parachute affect the speed it travels?

yes, if the parachute has holes then it might go slow to were it's traveling


When you deploy your parachute do you go up or just slow down?

When you deploy your parachute, you do not go up; you simply slow down due to air resistance and drag. The parachute increases your air resistance by capturing air in its canopy, which slows your descent speed until you reach a safe landing speed.


What is the best way to make a parachute?

We did a parachute experiment at school, and we investigated 2 variables. They were the canopy size and the material of the canopy. We found that the bigger the canopy, the slower the parachute will go. Also, the lighter the material, the slower it will go. Well if you use house hold materials you could use a grocery bag , string , and a paper cup to put things in and you'll also have to use a knife to put holes on please have an adult with you. warning- don't put any thing over 3 pounds in the paper cup. OR. Heat rises so if you put a candle at the bottom the parachute could stay in one place or actually RISE!


How does a parachute enable a person to jump without getting hurt?

Well, when the parachute is opened, and you jump, the air gets in and pushes the parachute, trying to make it go up, while gravity is working to push it down, which makes you slow down and land safely.


What is the force called that makes a parachute go up?

The force that makes a parachute go up is called drag. As the parachute deploys, it creates drag by slowing down the descent of the person wearing it, leading to an upward force that helps to slow down their fall.


Do you go up when you open your parachute?

Yes, you do. When a parachute deploys in mid air on the way down to the ground you go up. Only because when you are moving down the wind is moving up from you. So when the parachute opens and the wind is cought then the wind (going up) pushes the parachute up but only for a little while beause eventually gravity will take control.


How changing the weight on a parachute makes it go slower?

A parachute must have suspended weight in order to open. If you have no weight loading the parachute will fail.


How did it go from non-airborne to airborne?

attend parachute training for about 6 weeks. make 5 parachute jumps and become qualified as a parachutist................


How does gravity allow a parachute to go up into the air?

Gravity pulls the parachute down towards the ground. When the parachute catches air as it falls, it creates air resistance that slows down the descent, allowing the parachute to glide gently to the ground. So gravity doesn't make the parachute go up into the air, but rather helps control its descent.


What size of parachute makes a free fall slower?

Depends what you mean by "better". A bigger parachute provides more wind resistant so if you were to jump out of a plane, you would want to go big. If your talking speed (like a running parachute) you would want a small parachute to accommodate how much harder you want to make your run


How do you make the days go slow?

What is the best material to use for the top of a parachute?

There isn't one "best" material to use for all parachute canopies. It depends on the chute's purpose and the user's performance goals for it - are you trying to recover a spacecraft, stop a Funny Car or go skydiving? That having been said, most parachutes are made out of nylon because it works well and is reasonably priced.
