The weight of the sky diver has minimal effect on freefall time. Body position and amount of surface area exposed for wind resistance to affect are the two largest factors, and are interrelated to one another.

∙ 14y agothe mass of the skydiver indeed does effect the landing time :D

Does the area of a piece of paper affect the time taken for it to fall to the ground?
yes it does affect....more the area of the paper, more is its weight.... more the weight,it falls faster on the grnd due to acc. due to gravity....
What happens to a moving object with zero nets force acting on it?
Certainly. Say you have an object that has been falling through the air for a long time, say a skydiver. After falling for a long time, the skydiver will fall at a constant velocity. This is called terminal velocity, and this is when the air resistance pushing up around the skydiver is equal to the force of gravity pulling the skydiver down. The skydiver is not accelerating. By using F= ma, with zero acceleration, there is zero net force. The skydiver is moving as if there are no forces acting on the skydiver.
What shape would the displacement versus time for this skydiver be?
hg
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).
Does weight affect drop time?
All masses fall toward the center of a larger body at a constant rate of acelleration. On Earth that is 32 feet per second squared. A feather and an anvil dropped at the same time in a vacuum arrive at the ground at the same time.
A skydiver slows down from 65ms to 5ms by opening the parchute if this takes 0.75 seconds what is the skydiver's accerlation?
66.7 m/s2
How high is the building if the time it takes for a lead weight dropped from the top of the building to fall the last 1.5 m before hitting the ground is .109s?
That depends on the mass of the lead weight and the time it took to cover the rest of the fall.
How does ball size affect the time it takes the ball to fall?
In the absence of air resistance, it doesn't.
What happens when weights fall on your finger?
If a weight were to fall on your finger it would almost certainly break or sprain it and you would not be able to use it for some time
What Italian scientist argued that mass of an object does not affect the time the object takes to fall to the ground?
Galileo
What is the speed of a 35 lb weight moving 8 meters in 5 seconds?
If you divide the distance by the time, you get the average speed during that time. The weight doesn't affect the calculation.
Will coins of different sizes dropped from the same height fall at the same time?
In a vacuum, they will fall together. Air resistance might have a minor affect on the results.
