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.
What else can I help you with?
Does the third law of motion affect a parachute?
yes it does cause if there was no gravity then ur parachute would be going up
Is tin foil good for building a parachute?
Possibly, but tin foil is rather fragile, and easily torn. A cotton or silk fabric would make a better, more resilient, parachute.
How do you make a egg parachute?
make a big parachute
How do you open a parachute?
parachute is opened to provide air which manages the slow chute
Explain how a parachute works using the terms air resistance surface area and gravity?
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
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.
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.
Can you use parachute fabric on the moon?
Parachute fabric would not be suitable for use on the moon as there is no atmosphere to create drag necessary for parachutes to work. Additionally, the extreme temperatures and lack of breathable air on the moon would pose challenges to the functionality of any fabric. Specialized materials and technologies would be needed for any equipment used on the moon.
What will happen if we jump with the help of parachute on the surface of the moon?
Jumping with a parachute on the Moon would not work as it does on Earth due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere. Parachutes rely on air resistance to slow descent, and since the Moon has a very thin atmosphere, there is not enough air to create the drag necessary for a parachute to function. Instead, a person would experience free fall and land quickly on the lunar surface, as gravity on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth's.
How would the parachute fall on the moon?
Due to the Moon's lower gravity (about one-sixth that of Earth's), a parachute would need to be much larger to slow down a spacecraft effectively. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the Moon means that traditional parachutes would not work, so alternative methods like retro-rockets or airbags are used for landing spacecraft.
Would you need a parachute on the moon?
It would be better to say that a parachute would be completely useless on the moon. The moon has no atmosphere so a parachute would not slow you down. And yes, you would need to slow down to land safely. The moon's gravity is weaker than Earth's but a high enough fall would still be lethal. Safely landing on an airless world like the moon requires firing a rocket to slow your descent.
Would a parachute work in no gravity and why?
Yes it would work. But there would be nothing for it to work against, because there is no gravitational force.If there was no gravity and some other force working on the parachute, such us it being pulled behind a car, then if there was air or another fluid present, then there would be drag, just as in a gravity environment.
Does a parachute work in space?
No, a parachute requires an atmosphere.
Would an inflatable life raft work as a parachute in an airplane crash?
In theory, maybe. In practice it would almost certainly tumble.it would probably work if you have something to hang your slef under it...not by the neck :Plike a parachute...put it up-side down and ... voilá :)
Will a square parachute work better than a rectangle parachute?
Yes they will
Will a parachute work in a vacuum?
no it will not
