Hey'
I just did an experiment for grade 11 physics that i designed where i investigated the shape and size of the parachute. The shape of the parachute doesn't effect how long it stays in the air much. The main thing that the shape effects is the stability and the less stable the parachute the faster the person will fall.
That is why parachutes are in that banana rectangle shape so that there is more stability to glide through the air, like a bird. As the shape changes how much drag there is. Circles are pure drag and take the longest to fall.

Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
Yes, the size of a parachute does affect how long it will float in the air. A larger parachute with more surface area will create more drag, slowing the descent and allowing it to float in the air longer compared to a smaller parachute.
What makes the parachute stay longer in the air?
The hemispherical shape of a typical parachute is associated with a very high drag coefficient, which means for any given wind speed and air density combination, the actual force of drag is very high. Also parachutes are typically large which makes the drag force proportionaly higher. What this all means is that the drag required for an unaccelerated decent (which is equal to the weight) can be acheived with a much slower speed through the air (a non life-threatening speed upon landing). An object moving slower takes more time to cover a constant distance, so the parachute carries its object in the air longer.
Why does changing the shap of an object have no affect on the density of that object?
Changing the shape of an object does not affect its density because density is determined by the mass and volume of an object, not its shape. As long as the mass and volume of an object remain the same, its density will remain constant regardless of its shape.
Distance that the rocket parachute flare be seen?
They are meant to be seen for many miles. The exact distance depends on such factors as the weather and the rating of the flare. Local conditions can also affect their visibility such as fog or a very high headland.
Would a parachute be balanced when it falls?
As long as it is not accelerating (going faster and faster, or slower and slower), the forces on the parachute are balanced. Initially, the parachute will accelerate - in this case the forces are unbalanced. It will continue accelerating, until the force of gravitation is balanced by the force of resistance.
Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
Yes, the size of a parachute does affect how long it will float in the air. A larger parachute with more surface area will create more drag, slowing the descent and allowing it to float in the air longer compared to a smaller parachute.
You are making a mini-parachute out of tissue paper to make a parachute that will stay in the air as long as possible How can you increase drag so that the parachute will stay in the air a long time?
To increase drag and prolong the time your mini-parachute stays in the air, you can enlarge the surface area of the tissue paper by making the parachute wider or adding flaps. Ensuring that the parachute is lightweight yet structurally sound will also help it catch more air. Additionally, using a heavier string or attachment point can slow the descent, allowing the parachute to float longer. Lastly, creating a shape that allows for better air resistance, like a dome or a wide canopy, can further enhance drag.

How long the string be on a parachute?
The 'best' length for a parachute string depends on what the parachute is for and the rest of the design. If a parachute's strings are too short, the whole parachute could collapse. If the parachute's strings are too long, there may be some wobbling and bungeeing about, more twisting of the strings, etc. Parachutes for heavy things (like spacecraft) tend to have longer strings than parachutes for people, since they're less affected by this instability.
Is jumping off a cliff possible?
It is possible as long as you have a parachute.
Does a F-4 have to land with a parachute?
No, on a long runway this is not necessary.
If cosigners for student loan miss a mortgage payment will this affect student loan?
As long as loan stays current, credit & other obligations irrelevant.
Does metabolism affect how long THC stays in your system?
Yes, metabolism can affect how long THC stays in your system. Faster metabolism typically processes and eliminates THC more quickly, leading to shorter detection times. Slower metabolism can prolong the presence of THC in the body.
How does the metabolism of THC affect its effects on the body?
When THC is metabolized in the body, it is broken down into different compounds that can affect how it interacts with the body. This process can influence the duration and intensity of its effects, as well as how long it stays in the system.
