Right.KiNGGeexD said:Because she ain't accelerating the force of her downwards is equal to the force upwards because of the parachute right?
As long as she is still on earth... sure.Is mg still acting on her?
KiNGGeexD said:Ok so I've got mg acting downwards and mg for the parachute? And total mg am I on the right track?
Er.. no.KiNGGeexD said:Mg-mg=0
Where m is the mass of the parachute?
KiNGGeexD said:Ah ok! So the answer is 588N?
The force on a 60kg parachutist is significantly lower than the force on a 60kg non-parachutist. This is because the parachute creates drag, which slows down the parachutist's fall and reduces the force of impact.
Yes, the size and type of parachute can greatly affect the force experienced by the parachutist. A larger parachute will create more drag and slow down the fall more, resulting in a lower force on the parachutist. Additionally, different types of parachutes (e.g. round vs. square) will also have different effects on the force experienced by the parachutist.
The force on the parachutist is also affected by the air resistance, the weight of the parachute, and the air density. Higher air resistance or a heavier parachute will result in a lower force on the parachutist, while higher air density will increase the force.
Yes, there is a maximum force that the parachutist can experience while falling with a parachute. This is known as the terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed that an object can reach while falling due to the balance between gravitational force and air resistance. Once the parachutist reaches terminal velocity, the force on them will remain constant.
As the parachutist descends to the ground, the force on them decreases. This is because the parachute continues to slow down their fall, resulting in a lower force of impact upon landing. As the distance between the parachutist and the ground decreases, the force on them will decrease due to the increasing air resistance and the reduction of potential energy.
