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

How does a parachute effect free fall?
If the parachute is too small, then the load it is carrying will fall faster, the same thing is with big parachutes. If it is medium sized it will fall at a desirable rate than a larger or smaller parachute.
What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?
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.
What is the definition of free-falling parchute?
"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.

Does a parachute have free fall motion?
Yes but due to air friction we cant see it free falling.
Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).
Examples of free 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.
Why wait 10 seconds before deploying parachute?
So you get away for the plane and you do get caught, plus you get to free fall
How long is the jumper in free fall if the parachute opens at 1000 ft?
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.
How long is the longest fall?
The longest free fall without a parachute is recorded at 38,969 feet (11,335 meters) by Vesna Vulović in 1972, after her plane exploded over Czechoslovakia. She survived the fall, which remains a remarkable feat of human resilience. However, the longest fall with a parachute is generally calculated from the jump altitude to the landing, which can vary significantly based on the jump and conditions.
What acceleration does a parachutist have when falling before opening the parachute?
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.
How do charity parachute jumps work?
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.
What are examples of free fall?
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.
