The efficiency of parachutes can be influenced by factors such as the size and shape of the parachute, the material it is made from, the weight of the load it supports, the air density, and the deployment altitude. Other variables that can impact efficiency include wind conditions and the quality of the parachute packing.

Some variables for a pulley system include the radius of the pulley, the force applied to the pulley, the tension in the rope or belt, and the acceleration of the system. Each of these variables can affect how the pulley system functions and can be used to calculate mechanical advantage or efficiency.
The variables for a mouse trap car could include factors such as the weight of the vehicle, the size of the wheels, the type of propulsion system used (rubber band, mousetrap spring), and the surface friction of the wheels on the ground. Each of these variables can affect the performance and efficiency of the mouse trap car.
Some variables to control when testing the efficiency of different bikes include rider weight, riding conditions (e.g., terrain, weather), tire pressure, gear ratio, and testing methodology (e.g., standardized course or distance). Controlling these variables ensures a more accurate comparison between the bikes.
Variables that can change are called independent variables. These are the factors or conditions that researchers manipulate or observe to see how they affect other variables in an experiment or study.
The surface area, mass and the shape of the parachute affect the time of fall of the parachutes. Also the height, where the parachute have been dropped from. ( There are more factors that this).
