Would a parachute be balanced when it falls?
As long as it is not accelerating (going faster and faster, or slower and slower), the forces on the parachute are balanced. Initially, the parachute will accelerate - in this case the forces are unbalanced. It will continue accelerating, until the force of gravitation is balanced by the force of resistance.
What are the forces acting on a man when he falls from the top of a building?
The gravitational pull on the falling man and the wind resistance acting against the fall.
Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast?
When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.
Does the material of a parachute affect how it falls?
yes it does
What forces are acting on a skydiver?
Under free fall, the only force acting upon an object is the force of gravity. But realistically, there is also the force of friction from the air (Air Resistance) that opposes the force of gravity.

The motion an object experiences when it falls toward the earth with no forces acting upward?
Free Fall
You hold an apple over your head Identify all the forces acting on the apple and their reaction forces when you drop the apple identify all the forces acting on it as it falls and the corresponding?
Can someone help me with this question, I am clear with the concept. Thanks
Does niagara falls have any nature forces that act on it?
Niagara Falls doesn't really have any forces acting on it, but the gravity is a force. So gravity is whats causing the water to rush down. :)

What page number is the scene where katniss falls off the parachute in Mockingjay?
The scene where Katniss falls off the parachute is on page 136 of the book "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins.
What happens when an object falls to the ground?
Its weight causes it to accelerate. That is in simple terms. When an object falls to the ground, it still has mass, it still has weight, and it has constant forces acting upon it, such as gravity.
How will the mass under the parachute effect the way it falls?
by ejaculating
Why a parachute descends slowly where the stone dropped from the same height falls rapidly?
Parachute has more drag (air resistance)
