Best Answer
A Target 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

Ask Mythbusters.

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?

Answer

It 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

Answer

It 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 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.


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 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 third law of motion affect a parachute?

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.


What does the vent on the top of the parachute do?

The vent on top of the parachute helps air go through. If you didn't have a vent at the top you would be floating in the same place. The vent makes the parachute go down slowly but not fast enough to where you would drop.
