The acceleration of a skydiver decreases over time due to the increasing air resistance or drag acting against the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls, their velocity increases, leading to greater drag force until it eventually balances the gravitational force. At this point, the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, where acceleration becomes zero and they fall at a constant speed.
Sky Diver was created in 1978.

Terminal velocity is when air drag stops you from going any faster when falling. A heavier person will fall with greater force than the light sky diver falls at. So the heavier skydiver will require more force from air in order to keep him/her at terminal velocity

Terminal Velocity.
You can determine the kinetic energy of a sky diver above Earth by using the formula: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is velocity. You can calculate the velocity of the sky diver using the equation of motion and then plug it into the formula to find the kinetic energy.
