Panic?
Terror?
Exhilaration?
No, "FREE-FALL". Although one or more of the first three are likely, as well.
By the way; a skydiver is only in freefall for about a second after the jump. After that, the air resistance of his body begins to slow him down until he reaches "terminal velocity".

What do you call a person who jumps from a plane with a parachute?
A paratrooper? Either that or SkyDiver
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Gravity
A skydiver jumps from a plane at an altitude of 7000 feet What is the approximate altitude of the diver after fifteen seconds of free fall?
For the average skydiver, the first 15 seconds would cover 2,000 feet. So jumping from 7,000 feet would put him at 5,000 feet in 15 seconds.
Why won't a skydiver's speed continue to increase until his or her parachute opens?
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.
What happens to a skydiver before they open their parachute?
They jump out of the plane and accelerate to terminal velocity.
What does Geronimo scream when he jumps out of a plane?
MEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee!
How do you call the person who jumps from a plane?
A parachutist or parachute jumper voluntarily jumps from a plane. A non-voluntary jumper would be a victim of foul play.

The first one to jump out of an airplane with a parachute is obviously your mother.
What direction is the force when someone jumps out of a plain?
Trick question---nobody jumps out of a plain. They jump out of a plane.
What is the skydiver's forward velocity?
Forward it is the same as the plane that he/she was jumping off. Downward it is up to 300-350 kph.
How do the propeller on a plane help the plane to fly?
the propellers go woosh and then the plane turns into an Elephant then it runs and jumps...hope i helped!
