The force acting on a soldier parachuting primarily includes the gravitational force pulling them downward and the drag force opposing their fall due to air resistance. As the soldier descends, gravity accelerates them until they reach terminal velocity, where the drag force equals the gravitational force, resulting in a constant speed. The parachute, when deployed, significantly increases drag, reducing their speed and allowing for a controlled descent. Overall, the interplay between these forces determines the soldier's descent rate and safety during landing.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you fall at a steady speed before parachuting?
Before parachuting, you fall at a steady speed due to the force of gravity pulling you towards the ground. This speed is reached when the force of gravity is balanced by the air resistance acting on your body, creating a state of dynamic equilibrium known as terminal velocity.
What force stays the same when a parachute opens?
This can be referred to as the "opening force" of the canopy.
Did Amelia Earhart do parachuting?

What is the minimum service for the Canadian force?
Contracts vary from soldier to soldier, however for a regular force soldier, contracts can typically be from 3 to 8 years of service. Reserve Force personnel are on voluntary service and can leave whenever they wish.
What is a member of an airborne unit called?
A member of an airborne unit is commonly referred to as a paratrooper or a sky soldier. These soldiers are trained to deploy from aircraft by parachuting into combat zones or other locations.

Are parachuting and skydiving the same thing?
Yes.
What you can't do in handball?
You cant do freefall parachuting.
What are some other examples of changing stopping time to change stopping force?
Changing stopping time to change stopping force can be exemplified by increasing the distance over which a car brakes to decrease the force experienced by the occupants. Another example is a skydiver increasing the time spent parachuting to reduce the impact force upon landing.
