Ask us anythingA man steps out of a plane at a height of 4000 m above the ground falls 2000 m very quickly and then opens his parachute and slowly falls the remaining 2000 m to the ground. What height?

If a Helicopter is crashing do you try and parachute out or do you take your chances in the chopper?
Any aircraft that is crashing is about to impact with the ground, or is impacting with the ground, so a parachute will be of little use in these circumstances.
What happens if you jump off the 100th floor of a building?
Unless you land on the 99th floor, or have a bungee cord, or have a parachute, it is almost certain you will die, if you hit the ground or a much lower rooftop.
What roman aqueducts still stand today?
The above ground aqueducts that come to mind are the Pont du Gard in France, the one at Segovia, Spain, and the aqueduct of Valence, in Istanbul. There are partial aqueducts in Rome and in Israel. There are many stretches of the underground aqueducts remaining and some still in use.
How many syllables are in the ground is covered?
There are five syllables in the sentence 'The ground is covered'. (The ground is cov-ered)
When was At Ground Zero created?
At Ground Zero was created in 1994.
How will punching a hole in a parachute affect the rate at which it falls?
Punching a hole in a parachute will decrease the surface area and disrupt the airflow, causing the parachute to fall faster. The hole will reduce the air resistance acting on the parachute, resulting in a faster descent.
Can you put the word parachute in a sentence?
The man jumped out of a plane using a parachute so he would fall safely to the ground. We used a parachute so we could land safely on ground.
Why does a parachute fall to the ground?
Because of gravity
How does the size of the parachute affect the time it reaches the ground?
A larger parachute will result in more air resistance, slowing down the descent and increasing the time it takes to reach the ground compared to a smaller parachute. Conversely, a smaller parachute will experience less air resistance, allowing for a quicker descent and shorter time to reach the ground.

Any aircraft that is crashing is about to impact with the ground, or is impacting with the ground, so a parachute will be of little use in these circumstances.
How does gravity allow a parachute to go up into the air?
Gravity pulls the parachute down towards the ground. When the parachute catches air as it falls, it creates air resistance that slows down the descent, allowing the parachute to glide gently to the ground. So gravity doesn't make the parachute go up into the air, but rather helps control its descent.
What is the most valuable force for a parachute?
Gravity is the most valuable force for a parachute. When a parachute is deployed, it creates drag forces that counteract the force of gravity, allowing the parachute and its user to descend safely to the ground.
What does plummetting mean?
plummeted means to fall from a plane and not to have a parachute that will protect you from hitting the ground to hard.
Why does it take longer for the parachute to reach the ground?
The larger surface area of the parachute creates more air resistance, slowing down its descent. This increased drag counteracts the force of gravity, causing the parachute to take longer to reach the ground.
Why did he design the parachute?
"He" wanted people to be safe. Like if they had a plain crash the could put on a parachute and glide safely to the ground
How long is the jumper in free fall if the parachute opens at 1000 ft?
Assuming the jumper free falls from an airplane at a typical altitude of 12,000 ft, it would take approximately 12 seconds to fall the first 1000 ft. If the parachute opens at 1000 ft, the jumper will then have a controlled descent for the remaining distance to the ground.
How does the size of the parachute affect the time it takes for the parachute to reach the ground?
A larger parachute will experience greater air resistance, slowing down its fall and increasing the time taken to reach the ground. Conversely, a smaller parachute will experience less air resistance, resulting in a quicker descent and less time to reach the ground.
