Question

The falling speed of the parachute reduces with increase in its surface area.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The falling speed of the parachute reduces as the increase in its surface area.

The larger the surface area of the parachute, the more there will be air below it. Hence, more will be the air resistance which will make the speed of the falling object become slower. So, the parachute slowly and safely brings down the person from a height to the ground.
