As the skydiver and the parachute fall, the air around them fills the inside of the parachute and causes them both to fall at a much slower rate than normal. The large surface area, and the light weight of the parachute allow it to fall slowly.

A parachute increases air friction, thus reducing falling speed.

Indeed, the air friction is roughly proportional to the surface of the object falling down; the parachute tremendously increases that surface.

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?

Nearly equal the output work is greater than the input work because of friction.All machines use some amount of input work to overcome friction.The only way to increase the work output is to increase the work you put into the machine.You cannot get more work out of a machine than you put into it.
