Would one thousand Target bags attached to you be equal to a parachute?

It is doubtful and very dangerous to think that a thousand Target bags would operate in the same manner as a carefully constructed parachute - although one thousand Target bags attached to your rear end would make for a great Halloween costume. Please don't try this one.

Answer
The bags would not have enough area to open properly. The cords attaching them to you would increase total mass. Even real parachutes fail to open sometimes, what makes you think all the bags will open?
AnswerIt would slow your plummet for a bit, but then it would probably fold over or get tangled, leaving you as a splat on the pavement
Better Answer
try it, it will work perfectly
AnswerIt would work PERFECTLY if you're suicidal
Answer
It would work if you apply all the laws of quantum physics and you have written your will. And you have no problem with being flat.

How do you forecast percentages for example I have a target of 1.5million but i want to know what a 10 20 30 40 and 50 etc would be?
Divide it by 10 then multiply it by the first number of the percentage you're after. Or if it's an even first number, you could divide by 5, then half of the first number. 1.5 million for 10% would be 150 thousand. 1.5 million for 20% would be 300 thousand. 1.5 for 40% would 600 thousand, and so on.
How would you round 107 to the nearest thousand Would it be 0 or 1000?
107 is much closer to zero thousand than it is to one thousand.
Where can you find orbies?
Target or Walmart but I myself would get them at Target. They are very fun (;
How would you write 1030?
One thousand and thirty.one thousand and thirty
How do you write 45 thousand?
Forty five thousand
Identify one factor that would affect the time of a parachutes fall?
The surface area, mass and the shape of the parachute affect the time of fall of the parachutes. Also the height, where the parachute have been dropped from. ( There are more factors that this).
How would a parachute open on mars?
A parachute would open ABOVE Mars, just as it would above our planet
What is the apex of a round parachute?
The apex would be the center of the round parachute.
Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.
Would a parachute work on a lander to earths moon?
No, a parachute would not work on a lander descending to the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to create the needed drag for the parachute to slow down the descent. Other methods such as retro-rockets or thrusters are used for landing on the Moon.
Does the size of a parachute affect its performance?
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...
Can you use parachute fabric on the moon?
Parachute fabric would not be suitable for use on the moon as there is no atmosphere to create drag necessary for parachutes to work. Additionally, the extreme temperatures and lack of breathable air on the moon would pose challenges to the functionality of any fabric. Specialized materials and technologies would be needed for any equipment used on the moon.
How does the Leonardo invention of the parachute work?
Leonardo's parachute worked just like today's modern parachutes. But Leonardo did not know that the linen cloth he used would spread itself out in the air so he made a pyramid shaped shell to spread the cloth over. Air would get caught in the pyramid and create drag, tons of it, slowing whoever is attached to it, down.
What would happen if you tried to parachute from a hovering spaceship on the moon?
If you tried to parachute from a hovering spaceship on the moon, you would not experience the same effect as on Earth due to the moon's lack of atmosphere. Parachutes rely on air resistance to slow down a descent, which is not present on the moon, so the parachute would not deploy effectively and you would continue to fall at the same speed until landing.
Who would fall faster at a short distance small parachute or large?
At a short distance, a small parachute would fall faster than a large parachute. This is because a smaller parachute has less surface area to slow down the descent, causing it to fall more quickly.
Would it hurt to break your neck?
Yes, it would hurt if you broke your neck, you are breaking a bone that connects your skull to your spine, and has several hundred thousand nerves attached to it.
How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity pulls the parachute and skydiver downward. Air resistance, or drag, acts in the opposite direction, slowing down the descent of the parachute and skydiver. Parachutes are designed to balance these forces so that the descent is controlled and safe.
