free fall by James Bond

What happens to a skydiver's speed immediately after jumping from a plane?

• It remains constant.

• It decreases due to air resistance.

• It increases because the force of gravity is greater than air resistance.

• It increases until air resistance equals gravity, then decreases.

What is true about the forces acting on a skydiver when they reach terminal velocity?

• The drag force is greater than the force of gravity.

• The force of gravity is greater than the drag force.

• The forces of gravity and drag are balanced.

• There are no forces acting on the skydiver.

How can a skydiver increase their falling speed after reaching terminal velocity?

• By spreading their limbs to increase air resistance.

• By making their body more streamlined to reduce air resistance.

• By deploying a small parachute.

• By increasing their body mass.

What happens to a skydiver's terminal velocity when they deploy their parachute?

• It increases because the parachute adds weight.

• It decreases because the parachute increases air resistance.

• It remains the same, but the skydiver changes direction.

• It increases because the parachute creates lift.
