How does surface area effect the time taken for a piece of paper to fall to the ground?
Air resistance is the key. In a vacuum a piece of paper and a brick, dropped at the same time, will reach the ground at the same time. When atmosphere is added to the mix the papers area figures in when and where the paper will land. The bigger it is the more air it will capture and its' decent will be slowed.
Charging by friction eg?
When we rub the hair with a comb then charges could be produced on the comb. When this comb is taken near by a bit of paper then that piece would be attracted towards the charged comb.
How does the size of the parachute affect the time it takes for the parachute to reach the ground?
It affects the time taken to reach the ground because the larger the area of the parachute the slower its velocity will be and consequently changes how long it takes to reach the ground. The larger parachutes will obtain far more air then smaller parachutes and have more air resistance and drag force.
