They will both reach terminal velocity before reaching the ground, and will have the same speed (assuming identical parachutes etc.)

When it is windy do parachutes fall faster?

Yes, when it is windy, parachutes can fall faster due to the increased wind resistance and turbulence affecting the canopy. This can cause the parachute to be more difficult to control and potentially result in a faster descent. Pilots must adjust their techniques to account for the windy conditions.


What will happen if object falls from great height through air of uniform density?

It will fall faster and faster for a while - until it eventually reaches a "terminal speed", at which air resistance and gravity are in balance. After that, it will continue falling at a constant speed.


Why are parachutes used to help a car brake?

Well, because the air catches on to the parachute and it slows it down faster


Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?

Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.


How does gravity affects the acceleration of a falling object?

Gravity causes a falling object to accelerate towards the Earth at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This means that the object's velocity increases by 9.8 meters per second every second it falls. The acceleration of the falling object due to gravity remains constant unless there is another force acting on it, such as air resistance.


How fast do objects fall in mph?

It depends on how far they've been falling and how they started falling. A bullet shot out of a gun aimed straight downward will travel faster than a ball dropped from the same height. And the speed will not remain constant. It will accelarate at a rate of 32 ft/sec2 until it reaches a terminal velocity due to friction. In other words, it will get faster as it gets closer to the earth.

Are parachutes faster at high altitudes or low altitudes?

it is faster at a higher altitude because there are less air pressure when you're away from the Earth. There are more air pressure as you come to Earth so it becomes slower.


Why does smaller parachutes hit the ground before bigger parachutes?

If you have two parachutes, one big and one small, the biggest one will take more time then the other parachute. This happens because there is more room in the parachute which is causing air to go in side, which is air resistance. The smaller parachute has a lot of air resistance because it is smaller and there is less room for the air to go inside. However, the bigger balloon has little air resistance because it has more room in it for the air to get inside. The air is pushing the balloon up so it will fall slower.


How does air speed affects rate of decent of round canopy parachutes?

Increasing air speed will increase the rate of descent of round canopy parachutes due to a higher amount of air resistance acting against the parachute. This increased resistance creates more drag force on the parachute, causing it to fall faster.
