Heavier objects have greater gravitational force pulling them downward, which increases the air resistance force acting against the object, slowing down its fall. This results in a slower descent for heavier objects when a parachute is deployed.

What is the hypothesis for the parachutes?

The hypothesis for parachutes could be: "If the surface area of a parachute is increased, then the rate of descent will decrease because the air resistance will be greater, resulting in a slower fall."


Which is faster Lamborgini or Ferrari?

It depends, it has to do with the weight, horsepower, and size of motor. The heavier the car is the slower. The less horsepower the car is slower. and if the motor is small the slower it goes.

How will weight affect a parachute?

Weight affects parachuetes because it brings it down faster. For example, a 180 pound guy and a 60 pound boy both take parachutes and sky dive. The man will reach the ground faster because he weighs more than the boy.

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).


Why don't they have parachutes for everyone on a airplane?

The changes of an airplane crashing are relatively low. On an airplane, when you add weight, extra fuel s needs to be burned to keep the extra weight flying. When you add hundreds of parachutes, the fuel burn increase is substantial on each flight which would make it very expensive for airlines to add parachutes for eveyone on an airplane.
