The wind from the airplane
When you jump out of a plane to go skydiving 🪂 you thankfully have a parachute so you can safely land 🛫. Which answer choice explains why the parachute helps you land safely
While gravity pulls you down very quickly, Air Resistance (fluid friction) pushes back against gravity and your parachute, slowing you down
While gravity pushes you down very slowly, Air Resistance (fluid friction) pulls back against gravity and your parachute, which means you can land safely
When you have a parachute gravity is not able to pull you down as fast as it normally can
The parachute will get caught on something on your way down which will save your life

Gravity and Rolling Friction
Gravity and Your Friend Pushing You
Gravity and Pushing Friction

Neither, its a tie
Sliding friction won
Which of these materials do you predict would have the MOST amount of friction
Metal
Tile
