Forces - Terminal Velocity
- Terminal Velocity
- At the start of his jump the air resistance is small, so he accelerates downwards.
- As his speed increases his air resistance will increase
- Eventually the air resistance will be enough to balance the sky
divers weight. At this point the forces are balanced so his speed becomes constant
- Terminal VELOCITY
- When the parachute is opened the air resistance suddenly increases,
causing him to start slowing down
- Because he is slowing down his air resistance will decrease again until it balances his
weight. The skydiver has now reached a new lower terminal velocity
