Why is a person doing a cannonball dive an example of free fall while a person descending to earth on a parachute is not?

Ahat [919]3 years ago

The reasoning behind why a person falls fast like a cannonball is because the weight of a person is concentrated heavily at one point on his body depending on the side which faces vertically and perpendicularly to the ground hence much of the air resistance is thwarted. Notice that if a person is falling horizontally, the person will fall slowly. Falling horizontally with more area will result to more air resistance because the weight will be evenly distributed around it. That is the reason why parachutes and other objects with wider area and evenly distributed weight fall slower than a human without parachute.

What helped the population of the English colonies grow
ira [324]
<span>The population explosion was caused by two things. One was the natural birthrate of the colonists. Partly because of the time-honored farm family tradition that large families meant more people to work (and maybe because there wasn’t much else to do on those long winter nights in the country), the size of many American families was astounding.
</span>

But the growth was by no means all from within the colonies. Immigration was the second factor in the population explosion. It continued at a brisk pace, not only from England but also from other Western European countries.
