A small parachute would fall faster then a larger one because there is less air resistance trying to push the small one up but the larger one has a lot of air resistance because there is more area for the air to push up.

Hope this helped :P

What is the manipulated variable in a controlled experiment in which a scientist is studying how long it takes a parachutes of different sizes to fall to ground?

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 manipulated variable in this experiment would be the size of the parachute. The scientist would change the size of the parachutes to see how it affects the time it takes for them to fall to the ground.


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).

The variable being studied is the size of the parachutes.


When it is windy do parachutes fall faster?

Yes, when it is windy, parachutes can fall faster due to the increased wind resistance and turbulence affecting the canopy. This can cause the parachute to be more difficult to control and potentially result in a faster descent. Pilots must adjust their techniques to account for the windy conditions.
