As a parachute opens, it increases air resistance. This air resistance produces a force that counteracts the force of gravity pulling the object downward. Eventually, the forces reach equilibrium, causing the object to fall at a constant speed called the terminal velocity.
Increasing air speed will increase the rate of descent of round canopy parachutes due to a higher amount of air resistance acting against the parachute. This increased resistance creates more drag force on the parachute, causing it to fall faster.
No. But it's designed to do its job by taking advantage of air resistance.
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.
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."
The variable being studied is the size of the parachutes.

Cause the plane might hit them in the face! AssTastic Question!

The reason parachutes were designed was so that people could fall at any height and not get hurt at all.

As a parachute falls, air resistance pushes back against it, creating an upward force called drag. This drag force increases as the parachute gains speed, eventually balancing out the force of gravity pulling it down. When these forces are in equilibrium, the parachute stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed known as terminal velocity.
A skydiver is increasing their speed during the first three seconds of free fall due to gravity pulling them downwards. As the skydiver falls, their speed will continue to increase until they reach terminal velocity.
