  • Why Does a Parachute Slow a Falling Person? Understanding Air Resistance
    This is not accurate, a stone falls faster than person with a parachute because a parachute creates drag, which increases an object’s air resistance. The greater the object's air resistance, the greater its resistance to falling, which will decrease its acceleration during free fall.
