It is air resistance which slows the rate at which a parachutist falls, turning what would otherwise be a fatal fall into a controlled landing.

Why parachutists do not fall with constant accelerating motion?
Due to air resistance as the resistance is directly proportional to the speed but at certain speed called transitional speed or critical speed the resistance become directly proportional to square the speed so the resistance increase decreasing the falling speed.
How does air resistance affect how fast things fall?
Air resistance is basically friction between the object on the air- it has to push the air out of the way, and slows down.
How does air resistance affect the way objects move?
well air resistance can make objects with a-lot of surface fall more slowly
How does air resistance affect a falling helicopter?
the same that it would affect any falling object. The higher the air resistance the thicker the air density. This will result in a higher drag coefficient and will slow the fall of the object.
How does ball size affect the time it takes the ball to fall?
In the absence of air resistance, it doesn't.
Does free fall occur only when air resistance does not affect the motion of a falling object?
Yes, unless speaking about parachutists who refer to free fall as falling through the air without opening their parachutes.
Can Parachutists reduce their air resistance by increasing the size of the cross-section they present to the air?
no, the reverse, you will increase it

Air resistance causes the speed of a falling object to?
Nearly all falling object are affected by the resistance of air. However some objects have a mass greater than the air can affect. There is also the case where air resistance equals that of gravity and the object will not fall any faster.
