effect of diameter of the parachute on its size or suface area information plzzzzz.meritnation plzzzz answer fast.waiting for your reply.
Dear Student
How large a parachute is or the parachute's surface area affects its air resistance, or drag force. The larger the parachute, the greater the drag force. In the case of parachutes, the drag force is opposite to the force of gravity, so the drag force slows the parachutes down as they fall. Consequently, the larger parachute, with its greater drag force, takes longer to reach the ground than the smaller parachute.
