Ding Dong—–
“Help me get the package.”
Ding Dong—–
“No.”
“Just do it.”
“Fine.”
My package arrived late in the morning, snowflakes covering the top. The drone was supposed to deliver it in 10 minutes. But thanks to the weather, my breakfast was now cold. Oh yeah, I forgot. I was supposed to tell you that this isn’t the past now. It’s the future. Drones are here, couriers are gone.
A drone is a type of machine that helps you deliver packages in less than 10 minutes. People tend to use these drones as a really convenient express delivery, making an accurate, and efficient drop. Proving that it’s an environmental protection to the earth and to the wildlife.
“Have you ever wondered how the length and the material of the suspension ropes affect the parachute?”
“Um?”
“I guess?”
“Here’s why!”
The length of the suspension ropes really does affect the speed and the accuracy of the parachute. Based on a website named “Pbs” it explained that if the suspension ropes are longer, which makes the canopy to inflate fully. Also creating more drag and adds on the weight, making more stability when it lands. The shorter suspension ropes are actually the exact opposite of the longer suspension ropes, which makes a claim that the longer suspension ropes are better than the shorter ones. The aim of this study is to have a better understanding of how the suspension rope’s length affects the parachute from landing.
“Hey!”
“Come and check my package!”
Two forces pull together and makes Collision. Making a “Thump” sound. A package dropped on the ground. Based on drop zero, it showed how a package falls making velocity on its way down. Also pulling force, the package ends up by hitting the ground which makes Collison.
Our plan is to have a simulation based on how a drone drops its package at a 6-meter height making sure the accuracy, the speed and the stability of the drop. Determining if it’s a soft landing and the package’s condition is all good.
We are planning to drop cooking ingredients. Which meant that we are delivering eggs, flour, and butter. We chose these series of items because it’s going to be more convenient for the people who want to cook at home but don’t have the ingredients.
We also did a data table to show what happened to the package by testing it three times.
“Hey, it’s good.”
“I know right!”
“Hey, you want to look at my claim?”
“Why not!”
The package fell down making a “thump” sound. Based on our data table it showed how two items hits and makes Collison. Causing the things in the package to break down. According to the Drop zero investigation, the average amount of time a general package drops is 4.41m/s. Based on drop zero, I think that the best length and the best material for the suspension ropes are 30cm and nylon. Since we are focusing on the length and the materials of the suspension ropes for the parachute.
Based on a website named Diffen.com it proved that Nylon, a material used on ropes, is stronger than any other material. Even stronger than Polyester, a really common type of material used in making suspension ropes. Nylon is also resistant to oil, abrasion, and the damage to most chemicals.
“Hey!”
“Read more to find out what happens next!’’
“Here you go.”
“Now continue reading.”
