It really depends on what you're using it for, and the experience level of the parachutist. Bigger parachutes are safer and fly slower, and are ideal for students and beginners. Experienced skydives often use very small high performance parachutes in order to fly very fast horizontally, close to the ground (known as "swooping"). However, one of the most common causes of injury and death in skydiving is inexperienced skydivers flying parachutes that are too small for them to handle.
Bigger parachutes have more air resistance and drag force than smaller parachutes. This is because the larger surface area of the bigger parachute creates more friction with the air, resulting in increased resistance and drag.
It sure is, it sure is..... giggity.
"Nothing."
Yes they will
The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.
Both. It is smaller than 4.1 and bigger than 3.9
0.85 is smaller than 1. 3.4 is bigger than 1. "Bigger than 1" is bigger than "smaller than 1".
There are 8 planets Mercury (smaller than Earth) Venus (smaller than Earth) Earth Mars (smaller than Earth) Jupiter (bigger than Earth) Saturn (bigger than Earth) Uranus (bigger than Earth) Neptune (bigger than Earth) so 3 smaller & 4 bigger than Earth 37.5% smaller than Earth 50% bigger than Earth
A smaller parachute will typically descend faster than a larger parachute due to its lower air resistance. This is because a smaller parachute catches less air and therefore has less drag, causing it to fall more quickly.
Smaller
It is bigger.
Well, Anything bigger than 180 but smaller than 360 .
