Why do bigger parachutes take longer to fall to the ground?
Bigger parachutes have more surface area, which creates more air resistance. This air resistance slows down the descent of the parachute, causing it to take longer to reach the ground compared to a smaller parachute with less surface area.
How does the size of the parachute affect the time it takes for the parachute to reach the ground?
It affects the time taken to reach the ground because the larger the area of the parachute the slower its velocity will be and consequently changes how long it takes to reach the ground. The larger parachutes will obtain far more air then smaller parachutes and have more air resistance and drag force.
Which is faster to reach ground feather or ball in free fall?
Both the feather and the ball will reach the ground at the same time in a vacuum due to the acceleration due to gravity being constant for all objects. However, in the presence of air resistance, the feather will take longer to reach the ground compared to the ball due to its larger surface area and lighter weight.
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.
Why a leaf take a longer time to reach to the ground than an apple?
Because they're both falling through air, and the leaf has to slip and slide throughthe air.If you drop a leaf and an apple in a tube with no air inside ... and also add a bowling ball,a parachute, a rock, and a feather if you want to ... they all fall at the same rate, andhit the bottom at the same time.

What happens if you take too long to open your parachute?
The longer you delay, the faster your speed when you hit the ground.

If a Helicopter is crashing do you try and parachute out or do you take your chances in the chopper?
Any aircraft that is crashing is about to impact with the ground, or is impacting with the ground, so a parachute will be of little use in these circumstances.

A helmet, first aid kit and a parachute i guess and a ambulance on the ground if there is a accident!

Does a letter take longer to reach a jail than a house?
A letter probably does not take longer to reach a jail than a house. A letter will probably take longer to reach an inmate because the officers have to open every letter to check for contraband.

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.
How long does a twister take to hit the ground?
