How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?
Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity
What does gravity have to do with parachutes?
Air makes parachutes possible. Gravity makes them necessary.
How can air Resistance be useful?
Try parachutes.
What effect does air resistance have on gravity?
Air resistance has no effect on gravity. The force of friction due to air resistance against a falling object balances part or all of the gravitational force, depending on the object's shape and speed through the air ... just as your hand or a rubber band attached to the object would ... but the full force of gravity is still there.
How does gravity effect a falling object?
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.

How does shape and air resistance can effect the laws of gravity?
It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.

Compare the effects of gravity and air resistance on a falling skydiver before and after she opens her parachute.?
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.

What do parachutes do that cause skydiver to slow down?
simple air resistance
What are some forces that effect the path of the ball?
Gravity, air resistance, force produced by the spinning of the ball.
Do heavier materials make parachutes go slower?
It all depends on the air resistance...
What part air resistance plays in gravity?
i think air resistance slows down the object that gravity is pulling towards it
