A falling body initially falls at a rate of -9.8m/s2, the acceleration due to gravity. Because of the drag force of the air, which is an upward force that opposes the force of gravity, the body's acceleration will decrease as it continues falling. When the drag force equals the weight of the falling body, there will be no further acceleration, and the body will have reached terminal velocity.
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.
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
every second the velocity increases by 9.8m/s per second per second
As per Einstein's theory of relativity as velocity of the rod increases then its length would be shortened by a factor ./ 1 - (v/c)^2 where v is the velocity of the rod and c the velocity of light. This is known as Lorentz Fitzerald contraction.
It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.

Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.
For uniform motion, distance = velocity*time where uniform implies that the velocity is a constant. Therefore distance = v*time and so, if time increases by t, the distance increases by vt.
When the Force increases on an Object, the Distance it travels INCREASES, as does its Velocity.

Distance is dependent on time. If there is no time, there is no distance, as distance = velocity * time. As time or speed increases so will distance, therefore, if distance increases, either speed or time must increase. If either speed or time = 0, then distance will equal 0.
It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
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.
