If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.

What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?
static line jumps are static, free fall are not :P
Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).
What is free fall with example?
Free fall is exactly what the name suggest. A free fall is when an object falls downwards with NO OTHER FORCE acting upon it. An example of a free fall would be if you pushed your friend off an airplane. while he is falling he is experiencing no force but gravity (a free fall). Don't worry though, he had a parachute he deployed later on.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a sky diver's fall?
It slows down their fall so when they reach the ground their legs or any other part of the body will not be broken.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
To lift the parachute up people carry light weights in it. So if light weights are needed to lift the parachute up heavy weights will fall the parachute quicker.
What is the definition of free-falling parchute?
"Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored. An open parachute does not normally fall in this category."Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored.

Are you in free fall if you use a parachute?
interesting: in effect you are, because you have reached the terminal velocity for your surface area, which happens to be very large! if wrong, someone please correct me.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
Does a parachute have free fall motion?
Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.

Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.
Examples of free fall?
When you jump/fall from an inthinkable height without parachute or any other safety devices. When a bird retracts its wings and fall striaght down it is consiered a free fall.

Why wait 10 seconds before deploying parachute?
So you get away for the plane and you do get caught, plus you get to free fall
