The upward force in a parachute jump is caused by air resistance or drag acting on the parachute as it opens and expands. This creates a drag force that slows down the descent of the jumper, allowing them to land safely.

What force causes you to move upward when you jump into the air?

The force that causes you to move upward when you jump into the air is the normal force exerted by the ground on your feet. This force opposes the force of gravity acting on your body, allowing you to overcome gravity and move upward.


Why does when two people jump from an airplaine with the same size parachute the more massive person will have a greater final terminal velocity?

The two masses give the downward force, the upward force is due to the friction of the parachute ... and you stated that the chutes were identical.


A large and a small person wish to parachute at equal terminal velocities The larger person will have to?

a)Pull upward on the supporting stands to decrease the downward net force b)Jump highly c)Get a greater parachute d)Jump first from the plane


Why can you jump higher on the moon than the earth?

When you jump, you exert a force greater than the force of gravity to achieve a net positive upward acceleration - at least until your feet leave the ground and you quit exerting force. The net upward force is Fnet = (force you push off with) - (force of gravity) Because the moon has less mass than the earth, the force of gravity is less. As a result, the force you exert to jump on earth would give a higher net upward acceleration on the moon and allow you jump higher.


What happens when you jump out of an airplane?

Jump with parachute is safe.


How do you jump out of a airplane?

With a parachute.


Do you pull or push when you jump?

When you jump, you push off the ground with your legs to propel yourself upwards. The upward force generated by the push allows you to leave the ground and jump into the air.


What will happen if we jump with the help of parachute on the moon's surface?

There is no atmosphere on the moon. The parachute will not open. [The good news is: at one-sixth (1/6) the gravity, you will only hit with one-sixth the force.]


What is the highest parachute jump?

Exosphere


Did Bessie ever parachute jump?

no


When you jump does the world recoil downward?

No, when you jump, the world does not recoil downward. According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you push off the ground to jump, the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on you, propelling you upward. The Earth is much more massive than you are, so the effect of your jump on the Earth's movement is negligible.
