Aerodynamics Parachutes work on the principles of gravity and air resistance and in effect‚ terminal velocity. Air resistance (air friction) Air resistance is an upward force exerted on a body while it is in the air and is the result of air molecules that come in contact with the surface of the falling object. This force attempts to counteract gravity and other downwards forces influencing a body. The amount of air resistance encountered by an object is dependent on two factors: speed of the object

Aim To investigate how parachutes work and whether size matters to performance. Background According to Agee (2010)‚ “As a skydiver is falling‚ the force of gravity is pulling them towards the earth… The parachute slows the skydiver down because it causes air resistance or drag. The air pushes the parachute back up‚ and creates a force opposite to the force of gravity‚ slowing the skydiver down.” Question We wanted to find out how the size of a parachute would affect its descent as we felt slowing
