At terminal velocity, the net force on the skydiver is zero. This occurs because the downward gravitational force, which is equal to the weight of the skydiver (25 N), is balanced by the upward drag force due to air resistance. As a result, the skydiver falls at a constant speed without accelerating.
When a skydiver reaches terminal velocity, the force of weight acting downwards on the skydiver is equal to the force of drag acting upwards. This means that there is no net force acting on the skydiver, resulting in a constant velocity rather than acceleration.

Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s/s, which is the same as 9.8m/s2. An acceleration of 9.8m/s/s means that with each passing second, the velocity of the skydiver increases by 9.8m/s. Therefore, after two seconds. a skydiver's velocity would be 19.6m/s. The acceleration will continue at 9.8m/s/s until the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, at which point the weight of the skydiver and the air resistance will be balanced, so the net force acting on the skydiver will be zero, at which point there will be no further acceleration.

The weight of the sky diver has minimal effect on freefall time. Body position and amount of surface area exposed for wind resistance to affect are the two largest factors, and are interrelated to one another.

500 N is pressumably the weight, due to gravity. "Terminal velocity" means that the forces are in balance; the total force acting on the skydiver are zero. This is only possible if there is a 500 N force due to friction, to counteract the weight.
Once a skydiver jumps off the plane, they will begin picking up speed. However, as the speed of the skydiver increases, the amount of air resistance acting upon them will also increase. The skydiver will continue to accelerate while his or her weight is greater than the air resistance. When the force of the air resistance becomes equal to the weight of the skydiver, the skydiver will stop accelerating and will continue falling at a constant speed, this is known as the terminal velocity. While travelling at terminal velocity, the skydiver will be able to adjust his or her body position in a way that will increase or decrease the air resistance and allow the diver to alter their speed. Releasing his or her parachute will drastically increase the amount of air resistance and therefore slow their descent significantly.
