Responses
The parachute takes less time to fall because it has the smallest surface area.
The parachute takes less time to fall because it has the smallest mass.
The parachute takes longer to fall because it experiences greater air resistance since it has the greatest surface area.
They all land at the same time because there is no air resistance on earth.
