How does the mass of plasticine on the end of a parachute affect how quickly it falls?

The material of a parachute effects how quickly it opens which corresponds with the total drop time. However the mass of a parachute specifically, with all other variables constant, does not effect the velocity at which it drops.

How will punching a hole in a parachute affect the rate at which it falls?
wouldn't the air trapped in the parachute quickly go out, then you will quickly fall until splat on the ground
Does the material of a parachute affect how it falls?
yes it does
How does a parachute's material affect the speed at which it falls?
it will start to change as the material gets thicker
How does size affect the speed of a falling parachute?
The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.
How does the surface area of a parachute affect the speed it falls at?
The surface area of a parachute can be different sizes and weights. If the surface is smooth then the you will fall faster because the texture is smooth and the air will slip by it. if it is rough then it will be slower because the the air will come into the parachute slower.

What page number is the scene where katniss falls off the parachute in Mockingjay?
The scene where Katniss falls off the parachute is on page 136 of the book "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins.
How will the mass under the parachute effect the way it falls?
by ejaculating
Why a parachute descends slowly where the stone dropped from the same height falls rapidly?
Parachute has more drag (air resistance)
What are the parachutes for on a rocket?
The parachute of a rocket is used to slow down the rocket when it falls down.
Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast?
When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.
Why a person without a parachute falls fast than a person without a parachute falling from same height?
if there is no air then both will take same time.But due to presence of air person who is without parachute will take less time.
Does increasing the size of the parachute change the speed at which it falls?
the bigger the parachute the slower it falls. but, that is dangerous because it carries more so they try not to make them to big because one gust of wind could blow you a mile to 2 miles off course.
