https://mocomi.com/ presents: How does a parachute work?

A parachute is a device used to slow down an object that is falling towards the ground.

There are two forces acting on the falling person:
1. Gravity (Upwards)
2. Air resistance (Downwards)

Without a parachute the gravity is more than air resistance. But as the parachute opens, the Air resistance increases. Now air resistance is more than gravity.

This slows down the parachute and the person can land safely on ground.
