Parachutes are interesting aircraft. The major retarding force of classical round parachutes is drag. Weight and drag determine their rate-of-descent. But air spills out of them because they oscillate, too. Since the 1960's parachutes have been designed that acheive lift from their forward motion.

Why does a parachute keep you in the air?
It does not 'keep you in the air' a parachute slows down your rate of descent by traping air under the canopy.
What is the average rate of descent of the T-10 military parachute in miles per hour?
35 feet i think
How does noradrenaline affect the heart rate?
It doesnt
How will punching a hole in a parachute affect the rate at which it falls?
wouldn't the air trapped in the parachute quickly go out, then you will quickly fall until splat on the ground
How does temperature lapse rate affect aircraft design?
It doesnt
Why does a big parachute descent slower than a smaller one?

What is a rate that doesnt change?
A constant rate!
How does the repo rate affect the buying power of houses in south Africa?
In South Africa houses cannot buy anything. So the repo rate doesnt effect their buying power
Do things sink at the same rate in H2O?
No, their rate of descent depends on their "negative bouyancy"...
A hot air ballon begins its descent at a rate of 22 1 2 feet per minute how long will it take for the ballons elevation to change by -901 feet what is its rate of descent?
It is approx 40 minutes and 3 seconds. The rate of descent is 22.5 feet per minute!
How does surface affect the affect the affect the affect the affect the affect the travel rate of a rate of a caterpillar?

What is the main purpose of a parachute?
Drag. It reduced the fall rate to a survivable speed.
