Your challenge is to design & create a parachute that can carry an object to the ground to hit a 8X11 target with the slowest possible rate of descent.
Testing Data:
Drop height (m)
Drop time (s)
Velocity (m/s)
The LOWEST velocity is the best parachute in the class!
Post a picture of your parachute (in action)
Post your data
Answer the following questions:
1. As you were creating your parachute what adjustments or changes did you make to your design after you tried it out before the testing began?
2. What forces act on the parachute during it's descent?
3. What changes would you need to make to your design if you needed to transport a heavier object?
