What forces act on parachutes?
Forces on parachutes are – weight (due to gravity) and air resistance. Newtons Three laws 1. Known as the law of inertia; An object at rest will remain at rest unless a force is acted upon it. An object that is moving will continue moving at the same rate unless a force is acted upon it. 2. Force = Mass X Acceleration, The force of the object depends on the acceleration and the mass of a given object. 3. The most famous one, Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
