As the skydiver and the parachute fall, the air around them fills the inside of the parachute and causes them both to fall at a much slower rate than normal. The large surface area, and the light weight of the parachute allow it to fall slowly.

A parachute increases air friction, thus reducing falling speed.

Indeed, the air friction is roughly proportional to the surface of the object falling down; the parachute tremendously increases that surface.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

P=0.197 Watt

Explanation:

Given That

B=73dB

Io= 1 * 10^-12

I=Io * 10^{\frac{B}{10} } \\I=2 * 10^{-5} Wm^{-2}  \\A=4 * pi * r^{2}\\ A=9852.03 m^{2}\\ Power= I * A\\P= 0.197 Watt

Why is gravity so weird? .
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Why is gravity so weird? No force is more familiar than gravity — it's what keeps our feet on the ground, after all. And Einstein's theory of general relativity gives a mathematical formulation for gravity, describing it as a “warping” of space.
