What are the action and reaction forces on the fabric of a parachute when it is deployed?
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
What two forces act on a parachute when it falla can you draw a diagram?
The force of gravity and the force of the friction of the parachute moving through the air. I can not draw a diagram on this forum.
What force makes a parachute work?
air resistance
How does pressure move in two dimensions?
In 2D, pressure moves in the direction of the force. If the force is an upwards force, it creates an upwards pressure. Your weight is a downwards force and it applies a pressure down onto the floor.
Would a parachute be balanced when it falls?
As long as it is not accelerating (going faster and faster, or slower and slower), the forces on the parachute are balanced. Initially, the parachute will accelerate - in this case the forces are unbalanced. It will continue accelerating, until the force of gravitation is balanced by the force of resistance.
When you pull a cord on parachute do you go back up?
You do go up, relative to the cameraman, but you never actually gain altitude. When the parachute opens you accelerate upwards and you fell exactly the same as if you were accelerated upwards from rest.
