Skydivers can increase drag by changing their body position to create more surface area exposed to the air, such as by spreading their limbs or arching their back. They can also deploy their parachute, which creates a large amount of drag as it catches the air. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting clothing or using additional drag devices like drogues can increase drag during freefall.

How does aircraft drag increase with speed?
Drag increases by the square of velocity increase, for example, tripling speed increases drag by a factor of nine!
How can you increase drag?
You can increase drag by increasing the surface area of an object, changing its shape to be less streamlined, or by roughening its surface. Additionally, increasing the speed of an object can also increase drag.
How do you increase drag?
You can increase drag by increasing the surface area exposed to the flow of air or water, or by changing the shape of the object to create more resistance. Adding rough textures or projections can also help increase drag.
Will speeding up decrease the drag force on an airplane?
In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.
What are skydivers modifications to increase drag?
Skydivers can modify their body position to increase drag by spreading their arms and legs in a "flat" position, which creates more surface area and slows down their descent. They can also wear a jumpsuit with extra fabric or grippers on the arms and legs to further increase drag. Additionally, adding a drogue chute or deploying a larger main parachute can help increase drag and control their descent speed.
What are sky divers modifications to increase drag?
If by increase drag, you mean slow the descent, then generally use a larger canopy. If that's not what you mean, then I have no idea.

How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?
lift decrease and increase drag
What are two different ways to change drag on an airplane and how would the airplane respond to that?
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
How does angle of attack affect lift and drag?
A higher angle of attack has an increase of both lift and drag.
Who would win a lamborghini or a ferarri?
it would obviously be a drag car as it has a higher rate of acceleration and top speed. a drag car is built to perform on a drag strip where as a Ferrari is built to perform on a race track. this does not mean that a Ferrari is inferior to a drag car as you can race a Ferrari on a drag strip but it is impossible to race a drag car on a racing track

Will a predator 500 beet a kx250f in a drag race?
Depends on the driver.
When drag racing or joyriding who is liable?
the driver and the owner is liable for anything
