Why the mass with no parachute fell fastest?
Mass is always drawn to other mass. This is what produces the effect of Gravity, which is responsible for pulling the mass downward. When falling, there is one major factor which controls how quickly it falls--friction. The greater the surface area of the object, the greater the friction of air passing it, and slowing it down. The parachute adds a great amount of surface area without much extra mass, so the air-resistance (friction of air against it) is much greater. This causes it's "terminal velocity" (the greatest speed at which it can fall) to decrease dramatically. The end result is that because of the "difficulty" the air has getting around and past the object as it falls, the object dropps much more slowly. Take away the parachute, and it will drop much more quickly.
What is the measure of how much an object has?
Area is the measure of how much surface an object has.
How much does a parachute weigh?
90 lb
When dropped from the same height why does a flat sheet of paper fall slowly than the same sheet when it is tightly crumpled into a ball?
Because when the sheet of paper is flat, it acts like a parachute, and collects much more air resistance. The balled-up piece of paper has much less surface area, so can collect much less air resistance, making it fall faster.
What is the Measure of how much stuff something has?
You can measure its length, or its volume, or its surface area, or its projected area (in effect the area of its shadow).

What is the measure of how much surface an object has?
Area is the measure of how much surface an object has.
Do cubes have the same volume and surface area?
Yes Volume: Is the amount it takes to build it. Surface Area: Is how much is on the surface.

What is the relationship between surface area and rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
