Questions and Answers 

1. What adjustments/changes did you make to your design after trying it first time?

Ans. At first when we tried it was only in air for like 5.3 seconds but then we put some tape to make it heavier. At the second time it was in the air for like 20 seconds. It worked really well. 

2. What forces acts the parachute?

1. Ans. Once the parachute  is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.
