Yes it does. It has mass and like all other objects it is attracted to other masses. Throwing a parachute out of a plane will demonstrate this. It will head for Earth.

Compare the effects of gravity and air resistance on a falling skydiver before and after she opens her parachute?
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.
How does gravity allow a parachute to go up into the air?
Gravity and parachute fight and newton wins!
What force stops you from hitting the ground to hard when you skydive?
Gravity and your parachute..... and the pull.... :)
Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
yes, it can
What two forces act on a parachute when it falla can you draw a diagram?
The force of gravity and the force of the friction of the parachute moving through the air. I can not draw a diagram on this forum.

Why does a parachute fall to the ground?
Because of gravity
Explain how a parachute works using the terms air resistance surface area and gravity?
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
Does the third law of motion affect a parachute?
yes it does cause if there was no gravity then ur parachute would be going up
What is the name of the force acting on a man who is descending with a parachute?
"Gravity" is.
What will be the effect on accelaration due to gravity when a person fall with parachuate?
Acceleration is the result of the total force. Use Newton's Second Law, whichis usually written as:F=maSolving for acceleration:a = F/mPlease note that the F (force) refers to the net force - the sum of all forcesthat act, in this case, on a person with a parachute. In this case, it is the sum(the vector sum, to be precise) of the force of gravity (downward), and theforce of friction (upward). After a short while, these forces will be balanced -the net force, and therefore the acceleration, will be zero.The parachute has no effect on the acceleration due to gravity. It just usesair to create a force that works in the direction opposite to gravity, and thatreduces the acceleration of the body that's wearing the parachute.
What will be the effect of the acceleration due to gravity while jumping with a parachute?
The acceleration due to gravity doesn't change near the earth's surface, no matter what the cause of your fall is, or what position you assume during the fall, or what you're wearing. But a parachute sets up significant force opposite to gravity, because of air resistance. Since the acceleration is proportional to the net force, it can be reduced when there is considerable force canceling a significant fraction of the gravitational force.

How does speed and acceleration effect gravity?
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
