A metal box is attached to a small parachutes dropped by a helicopterexplain in terms of force why its velocity increases immediately after being dropped?

Because the resultant force is downwards (because force of air resistance<gravity when dropped) and will accelerate at 9.8m/s2

How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity
What is the relationship between the load attached to skeletal muscle and the initial velocity of skeletal muscle shortening?
As the starting length of the muscle is increased the initial velocity increases then decreases.
How can a parachute relate to real life?
All parachutes are designed for one fundamental purpose: to slow the gravity-driven fall of an object -- often a person, sometimes inanimate cargo -- through the air. ... The greater the drag generated by a parachute, the more slowly a given object attached to that parachute will descend to Earth.
Which is not a way that a machine makes work easier?
Increasing the distance between the load and pivot increases the work output of a machine.
What is the definition for attached flow?
Fluid that it attracted to a nearby surface and remains attached even when the surface curves away from the initial flow direction.

What are the changes in width of attached gingiva with age?
Width of attached gingiva increases with age.
What can parachutes do?
An apparatus used to retard free fall from an aircraft, consisting of a light, usually hemispherical canopy attached by cords to a harness and worn or stored folded until deployed in descent.
What increases the capacity of the atrium?
The capacity of the atrium increases when a wrinkled structure called the auricle is attached to the surface of an atrium. Because of this, there is an increase in the blood volume.
How are hang gliders used on earth?
They are used for Sport recreation, and also for special (Guided) parachutes used by Commandos, Navy Seals, that sort of thing. The Guided Parachutes sometimes can be worked into Ejection seats- or may indeed have permanently attached seating and some may even have Auxilliary engines- hence the so-called Ultra-Lights as seen in the movie Fly Away Home.
Why does a sponge have a layer of plastic bristles attached to it?
It has a rough surface, it also increases friction.because it have more friction if they are rough.

You have several hard lumps on the inside of your thighs what does it mean?
Go see a doctor if possible. If the lumps are hard and attached to the muscle, I'd get it checked out immediately.
Why do parachutes accelerate and then fall at a constant speed?
This is because the parachute will trap air underneath it and so the force of air resistance will increase, and it will take longer to fall. The bigger the air resistance the quicker the terminal velocity is reached.
