You and your friends hold on the edge, flip it up toward the sky, and then slip inside and watch it slowly float down on top of you. Or maybe you've seen a skydiver jump out of an airplane! After he jumps, he falls through the air, and then...he opens up his parachute! The parachute slows the skydiver down, so he falls gently towards the ground and can make a safe landing. But have you ever thought about how parachutes work? Well, in the end, parachutes work because of … air! That's right! The stuff that's all around us! You're breathing it right now! And, air, like everything else that you can feel, or that takes up space, is made of matter. That's what scientists call, just, stuff! Everything is made of matter! The parachute, the air, the ocean, you, me, everything. And since air is made up of matter, when you walk through the air, you're actually pushing matter out of the way, with every move you make! But here's the thing … that matter is pushing back on you, too! You probably don't feel it when you're just walking around. But when you start running, you might feel it a little bit. And when you start to go even faster, like when you're speeding around on your bike Whoa! That feeling is the air pushing against you! And this force has a name: It's called drag. Drag is the force of the air pushing back on you, or on anything, when it moves. And the faster something is moving, the more drag it feels. So, you don't really feel the force of the air as you walk around. But have you ever held your hand outside the window of a moving car? That's some serious drag! You can feel the air pushing against your hand, and it can be hard to even keep it still! But, have you noticed that it's easier to hold your hand flat, like this, than it is to hold your hand so your thumb's pointing up, like this? Why do you think that might be? It's because when you hold your hand straight up like this, more air is bumping into your hand. That's means more drag! But when you put your hand flat, like this, only a small part of your hand is pushing the air out of the way. There's less of your hand for the air to run up against, which means less drag, so your can glide through the air more smoothly. So, what if you're a skydiver, and you're jumping out of an airplane? How do you slow yourself down so you can land safely? You'd want to do something that would make more air bump into you. And that's how a parachute helps; it makes more space for the air to run into. So it creates more drag! There's so much drag on the parachute, so much air pushing against it, that it slows down your fall, so you can land safely. Now, a lot of other things experience drag, too! When a boat moves through the ocean, the water that pushes back against it is also making drag. And cars and trucks experience drag when they're driving down a highway. A little car feels less drag than a big truck, because it has less space for air to push against it. So, drag is the force that you feel when you're moving through something, like the air, and that something pushes back. It may slow you down. But it's what makes lots of things, from skydiving to playtime with parachutes, possible! Thanks for joining us on SciShow Kids!
