Answer:
How large a parachute is (in other words, the parachute's surface area) affects its air resistance, or drag force. The larger the parachute, the greater the drag force. In the case of these parachutes, the drag force is opposite to the force of gravity, so the drag force slows the parachutes down as they fall

Force of gravity is responsible for this downward movement. the parachute has it.
Explanation:
- The main forces acting on a parachute are gravity and drag. When you first release the parachute, the force of gravity pulls it downward, and the parachute speeds toward the ground.
- The faster the parachute falls, though, the more drag it creates.His downward motion is due to the force of gravity.
- His speed will be faster if he lands without a parachute.The force making the parachute fall is gravity.
- Gravity is what holds everything on the Earth and keeps the Earth in its place in the Solar System.
- Gravity forces the parachute down but air resistance pushing up on the flat surface of the parachute causes it to fall slower to the ground.
