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.
Answer:
(a) You can tell that have the same strength because they have attracted the same amount of paper clips.
(b) Iron is used in electromagnets because steel retained magnetic properties after the power was turned off, but in the iron, the paper clips dropped off right away.
An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).
A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.
If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F). An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.
