Depends what you mean by "better". A bigger parachute provides more wind resistant so if you were to jump out of a plane, you would want to go big. If your talking speed (like a running parachute) you would want a small parachute to accommodate how much harder you want to make your run
Because the larger parchute has a larger area thus making more air resistance, wich makes the larger parachute go slower than the smaller parachute. Hope This Helps :)
The bigger the parachute, the slower the descent so yes small parachutes do land faster.
because it absorbs more air in it and therefore, slowing down the object in the air.
Any size will slow a free fall which is what one does before opening ones parachute.
Generally, the larger diameter the 'chute, the slower the rate of fall.
cross sectional area for air resistance is greater as you increase the parachute size.
If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.
"Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored. An open parachute does not normally fall in this category."Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored.

static line jumps are static, free fall are not :P
Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).
When you jump/fall from an inthinkable height without parachute or any other safety devices. When a bird retracts its wings and fall striaght down it is consiered a free fall.
Free fall is exactly what the name suggest. A free fall is when an object falls downwards with NO OTHER FORCE acting upon it. An example of a free fall would be if you pushed your friend off an airplane. while he is falling he is experiencing no force but gravity (a free fall). Don't worry though, he had a parachute he deployed later on.
So you get away for the plane and you do get caught, plus you get to free fall
Most charity parachute jumps advertise that people who donate will receive a free skydiving lesson and fall. Usually, one needs to donate a sizable sum, worth at least $300.
Yes. Acceleration can be positive or negative. When he jumps out of the airplane and is in free fall, he is accelerating in a downward direction, so his acceleration is negative. When he opens his parachute, he accelerates in an upward direction, so his acceleration is positive.
If you fly a jet or a helicopter, and exit it while in midair, you will freefall. Simply don't deploy your parachute.
interesting: in effect you are, because you have reached the terminal velocity for your surface area, which happens to be very large! if wrong, someone please correct me.
