terminal velocity
when you are free falling there is weight acting on you pulling you downwards, the resultant force is the same direction as weight
As the person starts falling there is air resistance(upwards force), the person starts to slow down
-
as the velocity increases so does the air resistance, but at this point the person is still falling
there will be a moment were both forces will balance each other out, this means there will be 0 resultant force. This means the person has reached a terminal velocity as the person won't accelerate and there won't be more air resistance because there is no more velocity
