What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of a parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
Is compression a pulling or pushing force?
pushing
What two forces act on a parachute when it falla can you draw a diagram?
The force of gravity and the force of the friction of the parachute moving through the air. I can not draw a diagram on this forum.
What force makes a parachute work?
air resistance
What is a force at a distance?
A force is pushing or pulling on something.

Can you use a umbrella for a parachute?
No umbrella could survive that kind of stress; they are designed to resist the force of raindrops, not falling people. Most bags also would be much too small and too weak, however, a large strong bag could indeed be used as a parachute - that's basically what a parachute is (although a para-foil is a more sophisticated design).
Is compression a pulling or pushing force?
pushing
Which requires more force pulling or pushing?
Pushing.
Normal force is supplied by what?
A surface pushing up, equal and opposite to a force pushing against it
How is the force you apply by pushing on a rock different from the force of gravity on the rock?
Pushing requires energy
Is a compressive force a pushing force?
yes..
