To start with there is gravitational attraction. As soon as the skydiver starts falling, (s)he will experience the drag force due to air resistance. The gravitational force is essentially constant but the drag increases as the diver's velocity increases until it equals gravity. The diver is the falling at terminal velocity and will continue to do so until the parachute is operated.
The force of gravity on the skydiver will basically not change over time.Frictional forces (air resistance) will increase as the skydiver's speed goes up.
Both the speed and the air resistance will increase, until the force of air resistance balances the force of gravity. At that point, the skydiver is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity. I'm pretty sure that's what your asking.
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.

When he or she wants the parachute to open
They jump out of the plane and accelerate to terminal velocity.
by increasing surface area
by increasing surface area
When a skydiver opens the parachute, he or she does not move upward, but rather, continues to move downward, but at a slower speed. Sometimes there is an illusion that the skydiver is moving upward, because if there are several people skydiving together, and one of them opens a parachute while the others don't, you will see the skydiver with the open parachute moving upward with relation to the other skydivers. But they are all still moving downward, they are just doing so at different speeds.
the parachute has a big space area so that when he falls through the air the air molecules get collected by the parachute therefore reducing speed of falling down PS. doesnt mean he doesnt fall at all
When a parachute is deployed, the action force is the air resistance pushing against the parachute fabric. This air resistance is created by the change in the air's velocity as it passes through the canopy of the open parachute. The reaction force to this action force is the drag force created by the parachute pulling against the jumper. This drag force is created by the increase in the parachute's surface area, which slows the jumper down as they fall. The drag force is also responsible for the parachute's ability to slow the jumper's descent enough to safely reach the ground.
you will be pulled towards the earth by the force of gravity
After waving a lot to the cameras it was time to open the parachute and float down the remaining 5000 ft. Andre opened the chute and manouvered it around a lot to show me the view. He even gave me the controls of the parachute for a while. We landed after 5-6 minutes of parachuting down.http://babayaga.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/12/free-falling-at-13-000-feet.htm
A skydiver, falling without an open parachute, will reach a terminal velocity of approx 200 km per hour (55 metres/second).
