Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
yes, it can
How does size affect the speed of a falling parachute?
The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.
Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
yes it does
What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.
How does a parachute effect free fall?
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.

Why a parachute is attached with dragster?
The dragster needs a parachute in order to slow down at the end of its run. Brakes alone are not enough. Its the same thing as with the Space Shuttle when landing.
Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
yes, it can
What happens to the man on the parachute?
If a man has a properly functioning parachute, he will descend safely to the ground. The parachute slows down his fall by creating drag, allowing him to land gently. It's important that he follows proper parachute procedures and landing techniques to ensure a safe landing.
