In this investigation, I am going to study the free fall velocity of a parachute. I am going to see how the speed changes by varying the weight the parachute will have. ...
Another one is the surface area of the parachute. A bigger parachute will fall slower than a smaller one so that the air resistance is balanced with the weight, other wise it would be too much air resistance.
The shape of the parachute is another factor. ... If they are too short, there will be less air resistance, which means the parachute will fall faster and the number of strings also affects it this way. ... I am going to keep the factors (same string length, same size for the plastic bag and same height) constant by using the same parachute throughout all the experiment and I will through the parachute from the same height all the time. ...
Diagram:
First, after you made your apparatus, someone stands on top of a table and puts the parachute at a certain height (always the same). Another person will be timing how long it takes the parachute to reach the floor with a chronometer.
