It slows down their fall so when they reach the ground their legs or any other part of the body will not be broken.
a small parachute becouse it has less air ressitance meaning it traps less air than a big parachute.
weight would affect a parachute if you put a 500lb man on a parachute and dropped him gravity would make him travel faster towards the ground compared to if you placed a 92lb boy on a parachute as the parachute applies the same force to both of them but the man weighs more so takes more to slow down and therefor lands down on the ground first By Alister Kelly
Yes it would work. But there would be nothing for it to work against, because there is no gravitational force.If there was no gravity and some other force working on the parachute, such us it being pulled behind a car, then if there was air or another fluid present, then there would be drag, just as in a gravity environment.
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 parachute system, the balanced force is the air resistance (drag) acting against the force of gravity. The drag force slows down the descent of the parachute, creating a balanced force that allows it to glide safely to the ground. An unbalanced force would occur if the parachute experiences a sudden shift in wind direction or if there is a malfunction with the parachute system, causing it to descend faster or slower than intended.
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
A parachute requires air (or an atmosphere) to work. So the parachute would be useless and fall at the same rate as you. Depending on your height, you would probably sustain severe injury and die.
A parachute would open ABOVE Mars, just as it would above our planet
The apex would be the center of the round parachute.
The man with a small parachute will fall faster.
If the world did not have any divers, it would be havoc! There would be no knowledge of the moss on the rocks on the bottom of the ocean. Oh no! 'o'
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...
Free divers do but scuba divers do not need to. Scuba divers take their air with them and would have no need to hyperventilate.
Depends what you mean by "better". A bigger parachute provides more wind resistant so if you were to jump out of a plane, you would want to go big. If your talking speed (like a running parachute) you would want a small parachute to accommodate how much harder you want to make your run

No, a parachute would not work on a lander descending to the Moon because there is no atmosphere on the Moon to create the needed drag for the parachute to slow down the descent. Other methods such as retro-rockets or thrusters are used for landing on the Moon.
yes it does cause if there was no gravity then ur parachute would be going up
