A parachute slows down the descent of an object by creating drag or air resistance. When a parachute is deployed during free fall, it opens up and catches air, creating a force that counteracts the force of gravity. This allows the object attached to the parachute to decelerate and descend at a slower, safer speed.
In free fall parachuting, the jumper exits the aircraft on their own and experiences a period of free fall before deploying the parachute. In static line parachuting, the parachute is deployed automatically upon exiting the aircraft due to a cord (static line) connected to the aircraft.
"Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored. An open parachute does not normally fall in this category."Free fall" means that an object falls only under the influence of gravity; specifically, air resistance can be ignored.

Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.
No, a parachutist would not be considered a free falling object because they are experiencing air resistance due to their parachute, which slows down their descent. Free falling objects do not experience any air resistance as they fall.
When you jump/fall from an inthinkable height without parachute or any other safety devices. When a bird retracts its wings and fall striaght down it is consiered a free fall.
So you get away for the plane and you do get caught, plus you get to free fall
Assuming the jumper free falls from an airplane at a typical altitude of 12,000 ft, it would take approximately 12 seconds to fall the first 1000 ft. If the parachute opens at 1000 ft, the jumper will then have a controlled descent for the remaining distance to the ground.
A parachutist falling before opening the parachute experiences an acceleration due to gravity of approximately 9.81 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to free fall. This acceleration causes the parachutist's velocity to increase as they fall towards the ground.
Most charity parachute jumps advertise that people who donate will receive a free skydiving lesson and fall. Usually, one needs to donate a sizable sum, worth at least $300.
An object dropped from a height without any initial velocity, a skydiver falling towards the ground before deploying their parachute, and a rock falling off a cliff are all examples of free fall.
As a parachute opens, it increases air resistance. This air resistance produces a force that counteracts the force of gravity pulling the object downward. Eventually, the forces reach equilibrium, causing the object to fall at a constant speed called the terminal velocity.
