Have a little read: ... Things that may affect the speed of a falling parachute are: * Parachute made wrong size * Hole on centre of parachute too small or too large * Strings wrong length * Timing on descent inaccurate * Wind affected parachute on descent * Holes made in wrong place The thing that I am going to control in this experiment is the surface area of the parachutes being dropped. Prediction My prediction is that, the larger the area of the parachute, the lower the rate of descent. This is because if the parachute is larger, it will trap more air underneath it and so the force of air resistance will increase, and it will take longer to fall. The smaller the parachute, the lower the force of air resistance is, therefore the greater the speed. The bigger the air resistance the quicker the terminal velocity is reached. The quicker the terminal velocity is reached the slower the
