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.
Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)
MATERIAL
1st TRY
2nd TRY
3rd TRY
AVERAGE
Sik
144
140 average of 3 = 141
139
Cotton
98
96 average of 3 = 96
94
Nylon

68 average of 3 = 70
70
Answer: The volume of 0.640 grams of 
gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.
Explanation:
Given: Mass of gas = 0.640 g
Pressure = 1.0 atm
Temperature = 273 K
As number of moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass.
So, moles of (molar mass = 32.0 g/mol) is as follows.
Now, ideal gas equation is used to calculate the volume as follows.
PV = nRT
where,
P = pressure
V = volume
n = no. of moles
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K
T = temperature
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that the volume of 0.640 grams of gas at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) is 0.449 L.
I know it would be calcium chloride, not sure why. Maybe someone could answer that part.
1. Equal
2. Properties
3. Heat
4. Reverse
