What effect would opening a parachute have on a sky diver's fall?
It slows down their fall so when they reach the ground their legs or any other part of the body will not be broken.
Which parachute round or square has the fastest drop speed?
You can get a square parachute to descend extremely rapidly - indeed, there have been a number incidents (sometimes involving fatalities) when skydivers 'spiralling' close to the ground have had their reserve parachutes deployed automatically by the Automatic Opening Device (sometimes call the Automatic Activation Device). Indeed, a skydiver was killed a few weeks ago in Bad Lippspringe, Germany because he turned rapidly too close to the ground. A round parachute would, depending on your weight, let you down faster than a square on 'half brakes', although some small squares (<170 sq ft) would give you a pretty heavy bump unless you flared just before landing.

What size of parachute makes a free fall slower?
Depends what you mean by "better". A bigger parachute provides more wind resistant so if you were to jump out of a plane, you would want to go big. If your talking speed (like a running parachute) you would want a small parachute to accommodate how much harder you want to make your run
What would happen if you tried to parachute from a hovering spaceship on the moon?
A parachute requires air (or an atmosphere) to work. So the parachute would be useless and fall at the same rate as you. Depending on your height, you would probably sustain severe injury and die.
Can you parachute methadone?
Indeed you can ... You can parachute any powder substance .. methadone doesnt have much of a time release mechanism anyways so regardless if you swallow it whole or parachute it you would almost certainly get the same effect ... but if youre going to chew the methadone just go ahead and parachute because when you chew a pill alot of it gets caught in your teeth parachuting will allow you to get all of the pill down your stomach intact !! ps. NEVER SNORT METHADONE .. YOU WILL BE SORRY : )
