Parachutes increase the wind resistance experienced by a falling object, thereby slowing the speed of decent.

The rate of drop changes in parachutes because of the balance between the downward force of gravity and the upward force of air resistance acting on the parachute. As the parachute opens, it creates more surface area which increases the air resistance, slowing down the rate of descent. The rate of drop can also be influenced by factors such as the weight of the load and the design of the parachute.

How does air speed affects rate of decent of round canopy parachutes?

Increasing air speed will increase the rate of descent of round canopy parachutes due to a higher amount of air resistance acting against the parachute. This increased resistance creates more drag force on the parachute, causing it to fall faster.
