When skydivers jump out of a plane they move down through the air faster and faster as they fall. Once they reach a speed of about 200 kilometres per hour they no longer speed up. Explain why.?

Waves are known to travel faster through solids than they do through gases?

Does air go through cloth or plastic faster?
It goes through cloth faster.
What substance will a sound wave travel fastest through?
Sounds travels faster through denser materials. It is lowest in air, gets faster through water, faster yet through steel.
Does sound travel faster through steel or cloth?
sound travels faster through steel
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Why do skydivers stop ecelerating?
The Earth's gravity exerts a constant pulling force on any falling object making it go faster (accelerate)
What is faster 60 miles per hour or 100 kilometers per hour?
100 kilometres/ hour = 62.5 mph so 100 kilometres/ hour would be faster
I was skiing down the slope of Mount Bulla and I was going faster and faster. I yelled 'Help' and fell. What causes the acceleration down the slope?
The force of gravity accelerates skiers, skydivers and others who are moving down under its influence.
Can pea plants grow faster than corn plants could you investigate this idea through scientific inquiry Explain?
PeaPlants cannot grow faster than corn plants. To investigate this idea through scientific inquiry....do it your self!
Is it conservation of mechanical energy when skydivers drop in the air at a constant rate and why?
No. In free fall, where mechanical energy is conserved, the falling object would go faster and faster. In this case, to fall at a constant speed, mechanical energy is lost, due to friction.
Which sound travels faster the birdschirping or the whales siging explain how you decided?
A whale's song travels faster than a bird's chirp. This is because a whale's song travels through water, where sound moves much faster than it does in air.
What is the unit measurement for velocity?
metres per second or kilometres per hour. There will be others for slower or faster objects.
How long does it take to travel 169 kilometres?
It depends upon your speed. The faster you go, the less time it takes.
