What forces act on parachutes?

Question

and also what work did Isac newton do?

Answer 1

Gravity (pulls it down)

Buoyancy (Negligible)

Drag (air friction)

Tension (in the ropes, and in the fabric to keep it open)

Answer 2

  Atmosphere and gravity.

Answer 3

GRAVITATIONAL ORCE OF THE EARTH >>>>>THT"S MAX>>AND VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV... MIN> AMT OF FORCE OF ALL OTHER CELESTIAL BODIES>>.

To sum up wht NEWTON did id that he derieved the 3 laws of MOTION...and a lot of contribution to CALCULUS >>>>do u know he invented calculus just to make his calculations EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... further info on NEWTON plse don't refer net as it may give the rong info......refer goood icse text and sum good teacher!

Answer 4

Forces on parachutes are - weight (due to gravity) and air resistance.

Newtons Three laws

1. Known as the law of inertia; An object at rest will remain at rest unless a force is acted upon it. An object that is moving will continue moving at the same rate unless a force is acted upon it.

2. Force = Mass X Acceleration, The force of the object depends on the acceleration and the mass of a given object.

3. The most famous one, Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Answer 5

Since when did the astronomy and space forum turn into homework cheating forum?

Air resistance acts on parachutes. It is a force opposite to gravity. Air resistance is gravity's opposite force.

Newton was a physicist that pioneered in the study of forces and is famous for his 3 laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation.

Answer 6

This question should be in the physics section but I'll answer it anyway.

1. Gravity.

2. Drag.
