500 N is pressumably the weight, due to gravity. "Terminal velocity" means that the forces are in balance; the total force acting on the skydiver are zero. This is only possible if there is a 500 N force due to friction, to counteract the weight.
If you drop an elephant and an equal weight amount of feathers, the elephant will hit the ground first. The elephant falls faster than the feather because it never reaches a terminal velocity; it continues to accelerate as it falls accumulating more and more air resistance.
As an object falls towards the earth, it accelerates due to the force of gravity acting on it's mass. As velocity increases, air resistance increases. This is in the opposite direction to the force of gravity on the object. Therefore the resultant force on the object is decreased, and the rate of acceleration is reduced. Eventually, the force due to the air resistance is equal in magnitude to the weight and the object has no resultant force acting. At this point the object will be travelling at a constant velocity, commonly referred to as Terminal Velocity.
Yes, that is known as the terminal velocity. At that speed, the air resistance (pulling up) would be in equilibrium with the gravitation (pulling down), so there is no further acceleration. The terminal velocity depends on the object's size and shape. In general, heavier objects will fall faster.Yes, that is known as the terminal velocity.

Yes one can reach greater than mach one in free fall from the stratosphere. Acceleration of gravity is about 32 ft. /sec^^2 and barring atmospheric resistance one would reach mach 1 about 34.375 seconds after release after having traveled about 19000 ft. A frenchman named Michel Fournier plans to attempt a mach 1+ jump in late may 2008. He will jump from a weather balloon at about 131,000 ft. and he intends to reach a maximum speed of 1,113 mph before increasing air resistance halts his acceleration and begins slowing him down. The plan is to pass through mach 1 about 37 seconds after jumping. His free fall plan is about 6.5 minutes with a total jump time of 8.5 minutes. If successful he will be the first skydiver to exceed mach 1 and also break the free fall skydiving time record. http://www.legrandsaut.org/index.php?lang=eng These calculations are for a human in free fall, which has a terminal velocity of only about 120 mph in freefall near sea level. This much greater speed is possible because of much less air resistance at high altitude. The impact air pressure felt by him as he falls will be the same as a normal skydiver in free fall from a much lower altitude would feel. A streamlined object dropped from 131,000 ft. could exceed the expected speed of the skydiver considerably because of much less air resistance allowing a greater time for acceleration and a higher terminal velocity.

Acceleration is a change in velocity. More precisely, to get acceleration, you divide the change in velocity, by the time that passed.Acceleration is a change in velocity.

Yes. Not just a skydiver; anything that falls long enough will eventually reach "terminal velocity", which means that it will continue falling at a constant speed, because the force of gravity and the force of air resistance are in balance.
the crate will reach terminal velocity last, but hit the ground frist.
increase- your speed will increase until terminal velocity is reached. From there it will stay constant.
I don't know about a child, but terminal velocity for a skydiver is roughly 120 miles per hour, depending on their position in which they fall.
Terminal Velocity. This is the velocity at which the accelaration from Earth's gravity and the drag from air resistance reaches equillibrium.
While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase. Once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravitation, the object will no longer accelerate, and is said to have reached "terminal velocity".While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase.

When an object falls, air resistance causes it to reach a terminal velocity. After that, it does not increase the speed of falling, no matter how far it has still to fall.
Gravitational pull is constant...but is limited in a atmosphere due to wind resistance (terminal velocity).
This is known as terminal velocity.
The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
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
