Question

Use the concepts of force, acceleration, and speed to explain how a parachute works. Make sure your answer explains how Newton’s laws of motion play a part.

I'm not sure how to answer this. I got part of an answer:

"acceleration is involved because it helps increase the speed of the parachute."

Answer 1

There are two forces working on a parachute - the force of gravity and tension force exerted by the ropes the parachute. These forces are unbalanced which causes the speed of the downward motion to change thus causing acceleration
