Abstract
Skydiving is one of the most exciting activities humans do, this activity consists of people jumping from higher altitudes down to the ground by using a parachute to slow down their speed. A skydiver can go about 200 km/h depending on different factors like weight and also air density. A skydiver can reach full speed in between 40 seconds to 60 seconds. The physics behind skydiving involves the interaction between gravity and air resistance. When a skydiver jumps out of a plane he starts accelerating downwards, until he reaches terminal speed. This is the speed at which the drag from air resistance exactly balances the force of gravity pulling him down.

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know there was so much physic involved in skydiving.
