What causes a parachute jumper to slow down?
A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.
What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?
Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.
What is a use of air resistance?
A parachute.
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.
What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.

Explain how a parachute works using the terms air resistance surface area and gravity?
A parachute works as the gravity allows the parachute to go up into the air, then the surface area is covered with air resistance.
What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.
Compare the effects of gravity and air resistance on a falling skydiver before and after she opens her parachute.?
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.

What force makes a parachute work?
air resistance
What objects use air resistance?
a parachute and a glider
How is the falling time of a parachute affected by the shape of the parachute?
if the parachute is wider there will be more air resistance which slows things down and if there are holes the air can pass through which decreases air resistance. so the wider it is the slower it is.the lighter it is the slower it is
