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).

What is the manipulated variable in a controlled experiment in which a scientist is studying how long it takes a parachutes of different sizes to fall to ground?

The manipulated variable in this experiment would be the size of the parachutes. By changing the size of the parachutes, the scientist can observe how it affects the time it takes for the parachutes to fall to the ground.


How does gravity and air resistance affect parachutes?

Gravity and air resistance are the main forces acting on a parachute. Parachutes are pulled towards the ground by gravity, and if there was no parachute, the guy attached to the chute would turn into tomato paste. So parachutes are designed to create the maximum amount of drag (which is air resistance) so the whatever attached lands undamaged. So basically, parachutes create air resistance to reduce the effects of gravity

The manipulated variable in this experiment would be the size of the parachute. The scientist would change the size of the parachutes to see how it affects the time it takes for them to fall to the ground.

How would pushing an object affect the fingerprints?

Pushing an object may cause smudging or smearing of fingerprints on the surface of the object, making them less distinct and harder to identify accurately. Additionally, the pressure exerted while pushing the object could distort the ridge patterns of the fingerprints.

What doesn't affect rate of descent for a parachute?

Parachutes are interesting aircraft. The major retarding force of classical round parachutes is drag. Weight and drag determine their rate-of-descent. But air spills out of them because they oscillate, too. Since the 1960's parachutes have been designed that acheive lift from their forward motion.

Where do Scorpio's endless parachutes come from?

His endless supply of parachutes can not have any semi-realistic explanation, it is simply the scripting of the game so you don't have to worry about whether you have a parachute. After all, it would be annoying to run out of parachutes or wait for one to recharge.


What do the parachutes symbolize in The Hunger Games?

In the Hunger Games (the games not the book) parachutes symbolize gifts. If you were a tribute in the Games and were sent a parachute, you would get a gift. In the books however, the parachutes could symbolize many things. But at the end of the series, it would be safe to say that whenever Katniss thinks of the silver parachutes, she will think of her sister Prim (Read book 3 and you will see why).
