A parachute slows you down during skydiving because it increases air resistance. When the parachute opens, it catches air and creates drag, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling you downward. This drag helps to reduce your speed and allow for a safer descent to the ground.

What effect would opening a parachute have on a sky diver's fall?
Opening a parachute would slow down the sky diver's fall by increasing air resistance. This creates a counterforce that opposes gravity, causing the sky diver to decelerate and descend more slowly, leading to a safer landing.
Do sky divers go up when a parachute opens?
Sky divers do not go up, but they do undergo deceleration due to the increased drag incurred by the parachute being suddenly opened. Since skydivers, when being filmed by a cameraman, release their parachute first, there is a relative acceleration between the cameraman and the skydiver, creating the illusion that the skydiver is travelling up.
How will weight affect a parachute?
Weight affects parachuetes because it brings it down faster. For example, a 180 pound guy and a 60 pound boy both take parachutes and sky dive. The man will reach the ground faster because he weighs more than the boy.
How is a parachute different from a hot air balloon?
Its a fairly large difference. A hot air balloon is meant for multiple people and it propels itself and maintains a high altitude by burning gas, making it float. A parachute is just meant for slowing someone's speed while falling
An open parachute increases air resistance of a falling sky driver by?
slowing down the speed at which the skydiver falls. The parachute increases the air resistance by creating drag, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the skydiver down. This allows for a slower descent and a softer landing.
Do you have to be 18 to get a parachute for sky diving?
no you are suppose to have a license to sky dive

When was Sky Dive created?
Sky Dive was created in 1972.
Will a parachute slow a sky diver more at a very high altitude or at a lower altitude?
Parachutes work best in a dense medium. Since air density decreases with altitude, the closer you are to the surface the better a parachute will work. You still have to give it time to deploy to work, though.

Is it sky diver will come down only with parachute?
Only if he's wearing one.A skydiver will come down, one way or another, due to Earth's gravity. The parachute is to avoid him falling too fast. If he doesn't have a parachute, he will probably die when he crashes on the ground.

What airlines fly from Sydney to New York?
well im pretty sure airplanes fly there.... maybe some helicopters too... u could also sky dive in.... or parachute... however u want to do it!
