The parachutist and the snowflakes do not fall with a constantly accelerating motion because the velocity changes.
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.
Scientific theories are made to explain phenomena. Newton made his laws of motion to explain what he observed in the behavior of accelerating objects. When his law failed to explain the motion of very massive objects in situations of very large forces and speeds (such as the orbit of Mercury about the sun) the theory had to be modified slightly to explain the discrepancies. In this case this was done by Einstein's correction due to special relativity. The correction for the orbit of Mecury amounts to a movement of 0.5 seconds of arc per year in the nodes of the orbit.
Do you agree with the statement, "An object with a zero velocity can have an acceleration greater than zero."? Explain your answer.
In Rutherford's model of the atom the electrons had a circular motion around the nucleus. By the laws of physics, if something is going in a circular motion then it must be accelerating and a particle that accelerates is losing energy. This means that the electrons that are revolving around the nucleus would eventually fall into the nucleus. Nucleus would eventually collapse. This does not happen therefore the Rutherford model was put aside.
The major shortcoming of Rutherford's model of the atom did not explain how the atom's negatively charged electrons occupy the space surrounding its positively charged nucleus. Rutherford's model included a small central nucleus of positive charge surrounded by a cloud of electrons.
An accelerating universe is a theory which describes and seeks to explain the increasing rate of the expansion of the universe.

Using brakes slows your speed.
If you are traveling at a constant speed with changing direction there is a change in velocity, so you are accelerating.
Acceleration is change in velocity. These are vectors that have magnitude and direction. Changing either magnitude (speed) or direction will have the skater be accelerating. SO, if the skater is going at a constant speed of 2m/s in a straight line, he is not accelerating. If he is at a constant speed of 2m/s traveling in a circle (you gave the word "around"), he is accelerating. Going around in circles means there is a force constantly changing your direction. Obviously that force is coming from the skaters legs.
I feel your struggle. The answer is what ever you want it to be.
False question. Electrical energy may be stored in a battery, thus not needing "to be generated constantly." Reask your question with different parameters.

Forces (plural) are balanced if their vector sum is zero. Since an unbalanced force causes an acceleration, if an object isn't accelerating then the forces on it are balanced.
They're keeping themselves cool in the heat.
We are constantly advancing towards the future. No special "force" is required to explain that.
The Nazi government had dehumanized the Jews by constantly portraying them as subhuman animals.
