    Determining the effect of the mass on the drop time of a parachute Introduction and hypothesis The drop time of a parachute is dependent on multiple factors. Apart from mass, there is the obvious height, area of the parachute and other external factors such as wind. Mass is one of the main effectors of the drop time of a parachute, which can be proven through Newton’s second law, F=ma (Force=mass*acceleration). Rearranged, this gives a=F/m, where acceleration can also be gravity, if falling down…
