What are the main parts of a parachute?
The main parts of a parachute are the canopy (the fabric that catches the air to slow descent), the lines (cords that connect the canopy to the harness), the harness (the straps that attach the parachute to the user), and the deployment mechanism (the system that releases the parachute to open).
What does the first little parachute to open do?
It is called a drogue chute and it stabilizes the jumper and pulls the main parachute out of the container or pack.
What are the parachute forces?
The main forces acting on a parachute during descent are gravity, air resistance, and the weight of the parachute itself. Gravity pulls the parachute and its load downwards, while air resistance provides an upward force that slows the descent. The weight of the parachute adds to the overall force acting on the system.
Why burn a parachute while parachuting?
Indeed why? There are videos of examples where a parachutist has deliberately set fire to their parachute in flight, however this is part of a stunt. For 99.9999999% of skydivers, they do not set fire to their parachute as it is needed to save their life.

What is the purpose of a nosecone?
A nose cone helps to prevent air resistance also it can hold a parachute.
What inprovement was made to keep the parachute to stop oscillate?
One improvement made to prevent parachutes from oscillating is the addition of a stabilizing drogue parachute. This smaller parachute deployed before the main chute prevents excessive swinging by creating drag and stabilizing the descent. Additionally, utilizing a "reefing" mechanism on the main parachute can also help gradually slow its deployment, reducing the chances of oscillation.

What do you do if that parachute doesn't open either?
There are several different types of malfunctions possible on a parachute while it is deploying. Everybody jumps with a spare parachute, known as a reserve. The parachutist identifies the type of malfunction and either cuts away the main parachute and deploys the reserve or if a cutaway isn't necessary just deploys the reserve straight away. Please note that cut away doesn't mean you have to cut all the lines with a knife, there is a pad that you grab and pull down which releases the main parachute.
