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 can you make a seed with parachute fall quicker on the ground?

Well its depending on the MASS of the seed or how many seeds you added to your parachute. But if not, try doing a fair test for you parachute. But you'll never can make a seed drop down quicker. It depends on GRAVITY too. Gravity is invented by Isaac Newton. Many sad the apple drop on his head and he got the idea of gravity, but that was wrong. The apple drop next to him.If this does not help you go to my email. Tristan66ko@hotmail.com


When you deploy your parachute do you go up or just slow down?

When you deploy your parachute, you do not go up; you simply slow down due to air resistance and drag. The parachute increases your air resistance by capturing air in its canopy, which slows your descent speed until you reach a safe landing speed.


How will punching a hole in a parachute affect the rate at which it falls?

Punching a hole in a parachute will decrease the surface area and disrupt the airflow, causing the parachute to fall faster. The hole will reduce the air resistance acting on the parachute, resulting in a faster descent.


What force is stronger gravity or air resistance?

Gravity is typically stronger than air resistance. Gravity is a fundamental force that pulls objects towards each other, whereas air resistance is a type of friction that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air. This means that in most cases, gravity will have a greater impact on the motion of an object compared to air resistance.

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.

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.


What type of friction will you create when you let go of a parachute in the air?

Air resistance.


What type of friction when you will create when you let go of a parachute in the air?

Air resistance.


How does a parachute enable a person to jump without getting hurt?

Well, when the parachute is opened, and you jump, the air gets in and pushes the parachute, trying to make it go up, while gravity is working to push it down, which makes you slow down and land safely.


What happens after you open a parachute?

well after opening the parachute it will be filled with air so technically the individual will go down slowly due to air resistance .


Why does a weight go slower as a parachute gets bigger?

cross sectional area for air resistance is greater as you increase the parachute size.

What does the vent on the top of the parachute do?

The vent on top of the parachute helps air go through. If you didn't have a vent at the top you would be floating in the same place. The vent makes the parachute go down slowly but not fast enough to where you would drop.
