Does a parachutist descending to the ground demonstrate the effects of friction more than an apple falling from a tree?

No, not really. The drag on the parachute is caused by the fact that it has to move quite a large amount of air out of the way as it falls. And this takes time, so it slows its fall rate.

How does friction effects speed?
Friction will reduce an object's speed.
What is the equation of friction when checking for the effects of wax polish on friction?
heskey time
What are the effects of friction on things?
Friction results in resistance to movement and produces heat. It can be destructive.
What are some bad effects of friction?
Grazing your knees and hands when falling over and sliding on a hard surface is caused by friction with the ground. A spacecraft returning to earth will heat up to red hot due to friction with the atmosphere. These are just two bad effects of friction. But, there are good effects, too. Friction from your vehicle or bicycle brakes will bring you to a stop! Friction from your tyres and the road surface will prevent you from skidding.
What is friction and what effects does it have on motion?
Friction is the sum of resistance to motion and as for resistance, it slow down the motion.
