Does the size of a parachute affect its performance?
Yes! I would not want to jump with a miniaturized parachute...
How does the shape of a parachute affect how long it stays in the air?
Hey' I just did an experiment for grade 11 physics that i designed where i investigated the shape and size of the parachute. The shape of the parachute doesn't effect how long it stays in the air much. The main thing that the shape effects is the stability and the less stable the parachute the faster the person will fall. That is why parachutes are in that banana rectangle shape so that there is more stability to glide through the air, like a bird. As the shape changes how much drag there is. Circles are pure drag and take the longest to fall. McPhysics
Does the size of a parachute affect how long it will float in the air?
yes it does
How do translations reflections and rotations affect the size and shape of an image?
None of these transformations affect the size nor shape of the image.
How does size affect the speed of a falling parachute?
The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.

How does the surface area of a parachute affect the speed it falls at?
The surface area of a parachute can be different sizes and weights. If the surface is smooth then the you will fall faster because the texture is smooth and the air will slip by it. if it is rough then it will be slower because the the air will come into the parachute slower.
