Question

Will the man come down with the same speed with the parachute?Explain​

Answer 1

Answer:

As the motion gets retarded it won't be having the same speed as in case of a freely falling person without parachute . A man without parachute will always come down with a speed higher than that with a parachute as there will be very rare retardation in the motion.

Answer 2

Answer:

For a freely falling man, downward acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to the gravity.

However, in the given scenario man is falling with a parachute. Due to this, another force acting on the parachutist is air resistance, opposing the downward motion of the object. Hence, downward acceleration is reduced and net speed is less than the value without the parachute.
