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?

Why does a weight go slower as a parachute gets bigger?
cross sectional area for air resistance is greater as you increase the parachute size.
What is the relationship between the size and the rate at which a parachute drops?
Velocity x falling speed + the size of your junk
Whick works better a square triangle or circle parachute?
The best shape for a parachute is a circle. This is because the circle will have a larger area that will cause more drag to slow the parachute.
What is the best to do in a head on collision?
Bail out, and parachute down.
What is the best way to make a parachute?
We did a parachute experiment at school, and we investigated 2 variables. They were the canopy size and the material of the canopy. We found that the bigger the canopy, the slower the parachute will go. Also, the lighter the material, the slower it will go. Well if you use house hold materials you could use a grocery bag , string , and a paper cup to put things in and you'll also have to use a knife to put holes on please have an adult with you. warning- don't put any thing over 3 pounds in the paper cup. OR. Heat rises so if you put a candle at the bottom the parachute could stay in one place or actually RISE!
How does the size or shape of a parachute affect the way it works?
If the hole is bigger the parachute speed will decrease
