It would need to have a small parachute for a planet such as venus, because the atmospheric pressure is about 90 times that on Earth. This increases air resistance (drag) slowing the probe down. Therefore, the small parachute allows the probe to have more acceleration.

How would a parachute land safely on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?

Because the gravity of Mars is only 37% that of Earth


Can 2 people safely land using a parachute designed for 1?

It is not safe for 2 people to use a parachute designed for just 1 person. The parachute might not be able to support the weight of two individuals, and it could lead to a malfunction during the descent, risking injury or worse. It is crucial for each person to have their own properly sized and maintained parachute for a safe landing.


The human mind is like a parachute-it functions better when it is open?

Keeping an open mind allows for new perspectives, ideas, and understanding to enter. When we approach situations with an open mind, we are more receptive to learning, growth, and finding solutions to challenges. Just like a parachute needs to be open to slow down and navigate safely, an open mind helps us navigate the complexities of life more effectively.


Can we go out of the earth's atmosphere slowly without hurting ourselves?

I do not think that it is possible to exit the Earth's atmosphere going slowly. Great speed is required to get past the Earth's gravity so that it does not pull us back inside the atmosphere. In fact, the rocket needs to be at a speed of about 11 km/s to escape Earth's Gravity and reach space.


Why when you use parachute the acceleration decrease?

when we use parachute, the wide surface area can decrease the velocity of the fallen object. thus, the drag force will also decrease. consequently, acceleration will be zero when the velocity is constant. finally, the object can land more safely without huge impact.

What is the minimum height required for a parachute to open safely?

The minimum height required for a parachute to open safely is typically around 2,000 feet above the ground. This allows enough time for the parachute to fully deploy and slow down the descent before reaching the ground.

How would the size of a parachute required to safely land a space probe differ on the planet Mars?

A parachute that would function on Mars would have to be very large, much larger than one used in Earth's atmosphere, because the atmospheric pressure on Mars is much lower. The surface pressure is only about 600 pascals, about 1/160th the sea level pressure on Earth. The thinner the atmosphere, the less force exerted against the parachute as it slows a falling craft. Some Mars probes are designed to use retro-rockets and inflatable cushioning bags, to supplement their parachutes.

If you have a parachute, then it allows your water rocket to land safely.


How does thrust act on a parachute?

Thrust does not act on a parachute. A parachute experiences air resistance, which is a force that opposes the downward motion of the parachute and slows its descent. This air resistance allows the parachute to safely decelerate a falling object.


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.


How do the size of a parachutes required on thick atmosphere?

In a thick atmosphere, such as on Earth, larger parachutes are typically required to generate enough drag to slow down a descending object safely. This is because the denser air provides more resistance, necessitating a larger surface area to counteract gravity effectively and achieve a controlled descent. Smaller parachutes may not offer enough drag force to slow down the descent adequately in thicker atmospheres.


Why did he design the parachute?

"He" wanted people to be safe. Like if they had a plain crash the could put on a parachute and glide safely to the ground


What is the most valuable force for a parachute?

Gravity is the most valuable force for a parachute. When a parachute is deployed, it creates drag forces that counteract the force of gravity, allowing the parachute and its user to descend safely to the ground.


Which energy is used in parachute?

A parachute is an umbrella-like shape of material from which a person hangs by lines. It is used to allow a person to jump from an aeroplane, balloon, etc, and to safely land on the ground. No gas is involved, apart from the atmosphere the parachutist descends through.
