Well according to my calculations,,

I THINK they are drag and weight! haha (:

Im not much help!

Don't look at this answer cus im trying to find the same answer :P

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


Can you able to see all of the forces that affect an object?

No, we cannot see all of the forces that affect an object because some forces, like gravity or magnetic forces, are invisible to the naked eye. However, we can observe the effects of these forces on the object's motion or behavior.


Identify one factor that would affect the time of a parachutes fall?

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 are the four main internal forces?

The four main internal forces that affect a structure are tension (pulling forces), compression (pushing forces), shear (sliding forces), and bending (forces that cause bending or deformation). These forces can act individually or in combination to affect the stability and integrity of a structure.


What variables affect the efficiency of parachutes?

The efficiency of parachutes can be influenced by factors such as the size and shape of the parachute, the material it is made from, the weight of the load it supports, the air density, and the deployment altitude. Other variables that can impact efficiency include wind conditions and the quality of the parachute packing.

How do unbalanced forces affect forces?

Forces don't affect forces. FORCES act on OBJECTS.If there is an unbalanced force, that means that the sum of all forces acting on an object is not zero.

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.
