Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

How do I convert 200 yards into meters using Dimensional Analysis? Explain thoroughly. Thanks!
shtirl [24]

Explanation:

When doing this calculation manually, the formula of conversion that you need to use is yd / 1.0936 = m and this is the same formula used by the online calculator. For instance, 2yd = 1.83m and 15yd = 13.72m.

So 200 yards is (200 / 1.0936)

which is 182.88 Meters

Hope it helps..

Your friend says that the force that the sun exerts on earth is much larger than the force that earth exerts on the sun. part a
Verizon [17]
I disagree with that opinion, and I have solid Physics to back me up.

The forces of gravity are always equal in both directions. The sun pulls the Earth with exactly the same force with which the Earth pulls the sun.

It may seem weird, but your weight on Earth is exactly the same as the Earth's weight on you. For the same reason.
