RE: Understanding The Science of Parachutes (Part 2)

in #science6 years ago

So when you are falling at zero acceleration do you feel "weightless"?
And when you increase your cross sectional area does the acceleration go negative, in other words do you feel like you are falling "up" until the new Vt is achieved?

Sort:  

You feel you are falling up due to net upward force being exerted by parachute.
