Parachute Research - Surface Area

Explore parachute physics! Analyze drop times, surface area, and data using graphs and calculations.

According to the graph, which size parachute had the longest / slowest overall drop time? 8 1 x 2" 8 1 x 8 1 8 1 x 11" 7 1 x 7 1 Use the data in the graph to answer the following question.If you want a parachute to fall slower than 2.2 seconds, you should use a parachute with a surface area: of 7 1 x 7 1 greater than 8 1 x 11". less than 8 1 x 2".
