! HELP !
look at the image and read the passage before the questions for better understanding : )
questions :
(choose the correct answer - a , b , or c . )
1. the engineering students install flaps that extend off the cargo load to maximize drag force during landing and prevent their cargo from opening on landing. which statement explains why the flaps would be helpful in preventing damage upon landing?
a. the flaps increase the mass of the cargo
b. the flaps reduce the impulse of the cargo
c. the flaps reduce the momentum of the cargo
(for this one, choose out of the options which is the best fit for the paragraph.)
2. at terminal velocity, the parachute will produce a drag force (a. less than b. greater than c. equal to) the weight of the cargo to stop it from accelerating toward the ground. for the cargo parachute system to work properly, the parachute should be made large enough to (c. minimize d. maximize) the drag force. the parachute will reduce the momentum of the cargo by reducing its (e. velocity f. impulse).
(choose either a, b, or c.)
3. a student makes a prototype of the parachute system. he wants to test the parachute's effectiveness in assuring a safe landing. select all of the variables that should be measured for his experiment.
a. weight of the cargo
b. the velocity of the plane
c. size of the parachute
