What does gravity have to do with parachutes?
Air makes parachutes possible. Gravity makes them necessary.
Why speed of parachutes becomes constant?
Terminal velocity. When the parachutes cannot fall any faster.
Why do parachutes float slowly to earth?
Air resistance is the main reason that a parachutes slowly float to earth. the weightattached to the parachute keep it suspended in the correct shape to be effective. this is a very simplistic explanation and as can be seen from the many shapes and styles of modern parachutes there are other factors involved that can be used to modify the performance of a chute.
Identify one factor that would affect the time of a parachutes fall?
The surface area, mass and the shape of the parachute affect the time of fall of the parachutes. Also the height, where the parachute have been dropped from. ( There are more factors that this).
In a controlled experiment a scientist is studying how long a parachutes of different sizes to fall on the ground what is the manipulated variable?
The size of the parachute

Why speed of parachutes becomes constant?
Terminal velocity. When the parachutes cannot fall any faster.
What is the parachutes purpose?
The reason parachutes were designed was so that people could fall at any height and not get hurt at all.
What causes the parachutes to fall at different speeds?
people on steds
how to test if parachutes fall faster or slower when the person is heavier?
.

Did the bomb have a parachute?
no
Do wings or parachutes protect something when dropped?
If you mean by wings slowing its fall. Yes they do the impact is less.
What do the military use parachutes for?
to travel downwards beneath the gravity of the atmosphere and break a persons immediate fall.
What from space shuttles drops off after take off and and is parachuted into the sea?
The solid rocket boosters detach from the shuttle at about 45 km, but the boosters keep rising to about 67 km. They then fall back toward earth and once they enter the atmosphere, the rockets. parachutes are deployed. Each rocket is decelerated by three main parachutes. The boosters then slowly and safely fall into the ocean, and are retrieved by two NASA recovery ships. Experts refurbish the boosters, so they can be reused for the next launch. How do the retrieval ships know where to find the items? A total of 12 elements, two SRB casings, six main parachutes, two frustums, and two drogue parachutes, are equipped with location "beacons" to track all the parts that need retrieved.
Do heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?
Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.
