A parachute must have suspended weight in order to open. If you have no weight loading the parachute will fail.
In general, reducing the weight beneath a parachute will make it descend more slowly.
makes well slower innit
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
The hemispherical shape of a typical parachute is associated with a very high drag coefficient, which means for any given wind speed and air density combination, the actual force of drag is very high. Also parachutes are typically large which makes the drag force proportionaly higher. What this all means is that the drag required for an unaccelerated decent (which is equal to the weight) can be acheived with a much slower speed through the air (a non life-threatening speed upon landing). An object moving slower takes more time to cover a constant distance, so the parachute carries its object in the air longer.
Popcorn
It makes the parachute, jumper,and a pendulum to decrease speed.
air resistance
it makes wider which makes it bigger
force
It makes it wider which of course makes it bigger
it moves slower because of sudden movement
heat makes a parachute fly because when hot air goes into a balloon shape it blows up and then lifts into the air it acts like helium o yeahhhh
The vent on top of the parachute helps air go through. If you didn't have a vent at the top you would be floating in the same place. The vent makes the parachute go down slowly but not fast enough to where you would drop.
