How is the falling time of a parachute affected by the shape of the parachute?

if the parachute is wider there will be more air resistance which slows things down and if there are holes the air can pass through which decreases air resistance. so the wider it is the slower it is.the lighter it is the slower it is

How do you calculate the falling time of a parachute?
You apply gravity (a= -9.8 m/s squared), the weight of the parachuter, the delta x (change in distance) and the air resistance of the parachute.
What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?
If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
How do you find the speed of an object falling with distance and time?
Speed = distance / time.
Which of these areas is not affected by time?
none of the answers are correct...
How can height affect the time for an object to fall?
The acceleration of gravity is 32 feet per second, per second. This means that --eliminating any obvious aerodynamic considerations as there would be with, say, a feather -- the speed at which an object falls increases proportionately to the time it is falling. An object falling from a greater height will be falling for a longer time period and thus will reach a higher velocity and impact the ground with a greater force than one falling from a lower height.
Does the shape of a parachute effect its falling time?
Yes but dont know how yes it does because the bigger it is the longer it is going to take

How do you increase the time of descent of a freely falling body?
*by reducing the weight or density of the falling object. *By introducing resistance to the falling object in the form of flat light weighted object. *giving parachute.
Why a person without a parachute falls fast than a person without a parachute falling from same height?
if there is no air then both will take same time.But due to presence of air person who is without parachute will take less time.
What is a golden parachute?
Everytime I hear "golden parachute", it's the ultimate escape. A guy today referred to it when speaking of his birthday falling right before his eligible time to retire with full benefits.
Identify one factor that would affect the time of a parachutes fall?
The surface area, mass and the shape of the parachute affect the time of fall of the parachutes. Also the height, where the parachute have been dropped from. ( There are more factors that this).
Can tide height and time be affected by coastline shape?
Yes

How do you open a parachute in battlefield Vietnam?
just hold the A button (Xbox 360) or X button (PS3) once you exited the plane until u hear a parachute sound. It won't let you deploy it when you are really close to the ground because there's not enough time so make sure you jump out high enough.
What height do skydiver falling from 13000ft open his parachute?
After waving a lot to the cameras it was time to open the parachute and float down the remaining 5000 ft. Andre opened the chute and manouvered it around a lot to show me the view. He even gave me the controls of the parachute for a while. We landed after 5-6 minutes of parachuting down.http://babayaga.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/12/free-falling-at-13-000-feet.htm
How does gravity affect objects falling at the same time?
Two objects falling at the same time will fall with the same speed (assuming they both have similar shape and density)
How did Mendel test the idea that the color of the seed of a pea plant affected the seed shape?
He tested seed shape and color at the same time.
