Skydiver Jumps
The thing that is accelerating
What is the skydiver?
The force that increases with the velocity of the skydiver
What is air resistance?
The two forces that reach equilibrium when the skydiver reaches terminal velocity
What is gravity and air resistance?
This force is smaller than air resistance which causes the skydiver to decelerate
What is weight?
The direction that the skydiver is accelerating towards
What is downwards?
The force that is low when the skydiver first jumps out of the plane
What is air resistance?
When the skydiver can no longer accelerate
What is terminal velocity?
What does the skydiver not do when the parachute opens?
The skydiver decelerates because this force is less than air resistance
What is weight?
What is unbalanced when the skydiver first jumps?
This stays constant when the skydiver is at terminal velocity
What is velocity/air resistance/gravity?
The reason a parachute increases air resistance
What is an increase in surface area?
The moon
Where can you not reach terminal velocity?
