A parachute is slowed down by air resistance.
Air friction
Air resistance
A parachute... •_•
Parachute work by trapping air underneath which causes it to slow down by creating drag if it is closed it cant catch air underneath
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
Of course it does. If there was no air resistance then the parachute would accelerate at the speed of gravity which is 9.8m/s/s. If a human were using a parachute and there was no air resistance then they would die. "Air resists the motion of objects traveling through it because its molecules collide with the molecules of the object. This resistance to the motion is beneficial because the force acts to slow down a parachute jumper's speed of fall. The jumper falls with increasing speed until the parachute is opened. The greater air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute will bring the jumper to a terminal velocity and will enable the parachutist to safely reach the ground".http://amyallen.org/mhs/applied_physics/physics_of_flight/rocket/parachutes_payloads.pdf
you just slow down
yes.

A parachute.
yes.
because they slow down the momentum of stuff
force
A parachute
Birds slow down by changing the position of their wings to catch the air like a parachute.
The parachute of a rocket is used to slow down the rocket when it falls down.
