When will a skydiver be falling at terminal velocity?
When air resistance is greater than weight
When air resistance is equal to weight

Why does opening a parachute slow down a skydiver?
Increased surface area increases air resistance
Increased surface area decreases air resistance
Increased surface area decreases weight
