Yes, the parachute has inspired various inventions and advancements in aerospace technology. Its fundamental principle of creating drag to slow descent has influenced the development of skydiving gear, military parachutes, and even modern spacecraft landing systems. Additionally, the concepts of controlled descent and safety mechanisms derived from parachute design have contributed to innovations in safety equipment and recreational activities.

What is the force pushing a parachute up called?

The force pushing a parachute up is called drag. It is created when the parachute interacts with the air as it falls, slowing down its descent.


The big piece of cloth on a parachute is called what?

The parachute canopy is made up of panels.


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.


Can you survive a skydive with a hole in your parachute?

yes but it depends how big the hole is and if you have a back up parachute


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.


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


After opening the parachute do you go up?

No. In many movies it appears that someone opening a parachute flies up in the air. However, this is because of the perspective of the camera, which continues falling while the person slows down. Gravity continues to pull the person down to the ground, the parachute only slows them down.


How do you open up parachute?

To open a parachute, you typically need to pull the parachute deployment handle or ripcord located on the parachute harness. This releases the parachute from its container and allows it to inflate. It's important to follow proper training and procedures to ensure a safe deployment.


What are the action and reaction forces on the farcical of parachute when it is deployed?

When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the parachute pushing against the air resistance, creating drag. The reaction force is the air pushing back up on the parachute, providing lift and slowing down the descent of the object attached to the parachute.


Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?

A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.


Did the queen of England get to the Olympics with a parachute?

No, it was all set up. It would have been to big of a risk to send the queen in a Parachute.


Is it true that the band Falling Up is breaking up?

It was announced on Januray 20, 2010 by lead vocalist Jessy Ribordy that Falling Up was disbanding, or "taking a permanent break," and their final show was at the Parachute Music Festival on January 29.
