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
Why speed of parachutes becomes constant?
Terminal velocity. When the parachutes cannot fall any faster.
Why does the rate of drop change in parachutes?
Parachutes increase the wind resistance experienced by a falling object, thereby slowing the speed of decent.
A metal box is attached to a small parachutes dropped by a helicopterexplain in terms of force why its velocity increases immediately after being dropped?
Because the resultant force is downwards (because force of air resistance<gravity when dropped) and will accelerate at 9.8m/s2
How can air Resistance be useful?
Try parachutes.
