Which object will experience more air resistance: a skydiver falling without a parachute or a skydiver falling with a parachute?

1 answer

The skydiver falling without a parachute will experience more air resistance because they have a larger surface area exposed to the air. The parachute on the other hand will decrease the skydiver's terminal velocity, resulting in less air resistance.
