Answer:
average for silk =141"
average for cotton =96"
average for nylon = 70"
if you desire a slower falling parachute to protect the body from damage,
silk is the best
if you desire a faster falling parachute to escape enemy bullets,
nylon is the best

Problem Solving
1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in
the table below.
(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.

Answer:</h3>
The centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
- Mass of rubber stopper = 13 g
- Length of the string(radius) = 0.93 m
- Time for one revolution = 1.18 seconds
We are required to calculate the centripetal acceleration.
To get the centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;
Centripetal acc = V²/r
Where, V is the velocity and r is the radius.
Since time for 1 revolution is 1.18 seconds,
Then, V = 2πr/t, taking π to be 3.142 ( 1 revolution = 2πr)
Therefore;
Velocity = (2 × 3.142 × 0.93 m) ÷ 1.18 sec
= 4.953 m/s
Thus;
Centripetal acceleration = (4.953 m/s)² ÷ 0.93 m
= 26.38 m/s²
Hence, the centripetal acceleration is 26.38 m/s²
