Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
Changing the weight of a parachute will affect its descent speed. A heavier parachute will fall faster while a lighter parachute will fall more slowly. This is because the weight influences the drag force acting on the parachute during descent.
What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?
In free fall parachuting, the jumper exits the aircraft on their own and experiences a period of free fall before deploying the parachute. In static line parachuting, the parachute is deployed automatically upon exiting the aircraft due to a cord (static line) connected to the aircraft.
Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).
What effect does a hole in middle of the parachute have on the behaviour of the parachute?
A hole in the middle of a parachute can disrupt the airflow, causing the parachute to lose stability and potentially spin uncontrollably. This can lead to a faster descent and reduce the effectiveness of the parachute in slowing down the fall. It is important for a parachute to be intact and properly functioning to ensure a safe landing.
How long is the jumper in free fall if the parachute opens at 1000 ft?
Assuming the jumper free falls from an airplane at a typical altitude of 12,000 ft, it would take approximately 12 seconds to fall the first 1000 ft. If the parachute opens at 1000 ft, the jumper will then have a controlled descent for the remaining distance to the ground.

What is the definition of free-falling parchute?
"Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored. An open parachute does not normally fall in this category."Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored.

Are you in free fall if you use a parachute?
interesting: in effect you are, because you have reached the terminal velocity for your surface area, which happens to be very large! if wrong, someone please correct me.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
Does a parachute have free fall motion?
Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.

Who would fall faster a man with a small parachute or a man with a large parachute?
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.

Examples of free fall?
When you jump/fall from an inthinkable height without parachute or any other safety devices. When a bird retracts its wings and fall striaght down it is consiered a free fall.
Why wait 10 seconds before deploying parachute?
So you get away for the plane and you do get caught, plus you get to free fall
