Parachute.

1. What adjustments/Changes did you make to your design after trying it the first time?
The first parachute we made and tested was filled with air. although a good idea there was little drag and it couldn't hold the wieght up for a long time. The second time we put a hole through the top and bottom and the parachute increased time by 1 second.

2. What forces act the parachute?
The drag against the whole parachute slows down the whole parachute.

3.What Changes would you make to transport something heavier.
If I were to use more material I could make more surface area and create more drag.
