Yes, upthrust, or buoyancy, can apply to parachutes, but it is not the primary force at play. When a parachute opens, it creates drag, which counteracts the force of gravity and slows the descent. The parachute's large surface area increases air resistance, allowing it to float and descend more gently, similar to how buoyancy works in fluids, but it mainly operates through aerodynamic forces rather than traditional buoyancy in liquids.
What else can I help you with?
How does density and upthrust compare in size?
Upthrust cancels weight out, weight is there but you do not feel it.
What is upthrust in water?
upthrust works by if you put a counter in a jug of waser slowley it should work because gravity and upthrust both together is equal so that's how it works its equal !!!
How do you say parachutes in french?
Its still parachutes.
What are the factor of upthrust?
upthrust is noting but the power of water that is used to push a thing in water
What is a kid friendly definition of upthrust?
Upthrust is a force that pushes things up in water
Is there upthrust on an aeroplane?
Upthrust,or lift, is created under the wing when the aircraft moves forward.
Is upthrust a scalar quantity?
No, upthrust is not a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction. Upthrust is the upward force exerted by a fluid on an object immersed in it, and its direction is always opposite to the direction of gravity.
Will the sumberine float or sink if its weight is greater than the upthrust acting on it?
The submarine will sink if its weight is greater than the upthrust acting on it. Upthrust is the force pushing an object upwards in a fluid, such as water. When an object's weight is greater than the upthrust, it will sink.
Is upthrust contact force?
Upthrust is a Contact Force. :)
How big are parachutes?
Parachutes come in varying sizes.
What force acts against upthrust?
The force that acts against upthrust is gravity. Gravity pulls objects downward, opposing the buoyant force provided by upthrust.
What is the upthrust needed to keep 1600n afloat?
To find the upthrust needed to keep a 1600 N object afloat, you need to consider the weight of the object. The upthrust must equal the weight of the object for it to stay afloat, so the upthrust required would be 1600 N.
