A parachute... •_•
To slow down a parachute, you can make the canopy bigger by pulling on the cords to increase its surface area. This increases air resistance and helps to slow down the descent. You can also adjust the angle of the parachute to catch more air and slow down further.
A parachute.
Air resistance, also known as drag, acts on the parachute of a dragster to slow it down. As the parachute deploys and opens up, it catches the air and creates a drag force that opposes the motion of the dragster, ultimately helping to slow it down.
A parachute jumper slows down due to air resistance pushing against the open parachute. As the parachute increases in surface area, it creates more drag, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the jumper down. This results in a gradual decrease in speed until the jumper reaches a safe landing velocity.

When you deploy your parachute, you do not go up; you simply slow down due to air resistance and drag. The parachute increases your air resistance by capturing air in its canopy, which slows your descent speed until you reach a safe landing speed.
Birds slow down by changing the position of their wings to catch the air like a parachute.
The parachute of a rocket is used to slow down the rocket when it falls down.
When a parachute opens, it increases air resistance, which creates drag that opposes the force of gravity pulling the person or object down. The larger surface area of the parachute allows it to catch more air, which helps to slow down the descent of the person or object safely.
An open parachute increases air resistance because it catches more air, slowing down the fall. In contrast, a closed parachute offers less resistance because it presents a smaller surface area to the air, causing the object to fall faster.
Well, when the parachute is opened, and you jump, the air gets in and pushes the parachute, trying to make it go up, while gravity is working to push it down, which makes you slow down and land safely.
it traps air inside to slow it down
