Why several seconds after jumping from an aircraft a skydiver will be travelling at a constant speed?

Because you reach maximum velocity.

What is the skydiver's forward velocity?
Forward it is the same as the plane that he/she was jumping off. Downward it is up to 300-350 kph.
How does terminal velocity affect acceleration?
The terminal velocity of an object moving through a fluid under the force of gravity (let's assume the fluid is air for sake of discussion) occurs at the speed where the drag force of the air on the object becomes equal to the weight of the object. At this point the object has stopped accelerating and is in uniform motion (constant speed).For example, a skydiver jumping out of a plane will accelerate towards the Earth. At first the skydiver is accelerating at 9.8 m/s2, the gravitational acceleration of the Earth. But as he accelerates to higher speed, drag force becomes greater and the rate of acceleration slows. Drag force is proportional to the square of the speed, by the way. Eventually the skydiver will reach a speed (around 120 mph depending on the orientation of the skydiver's body) where the drag force is equal to his weight. That will be his terminal velocity.
When you jump why does gravity pull you back down?
gravity is a constant force pulling down on you. jumping doesnt escape that fact.
What takes the most energy jumping writing shouting or thinking?
i got to say jumping
What is the difference between free fall and jumping out a plane?
free fall doesn't involve jumping out a planes
What is take off velocity?
Aircraft etc: The speed at which the aircraftcraft etc must be travelling in order to leave the ground. Athletics/jumping: The speed of the athlete at the point of leaving the ground when jumping e.g. in a high-jump competition.

What is the fastest you could fall from an airplane?
The current world record is from jumping from a balloon 843.6 mph. For a skydiver jumping from an airplane heading straight down close to 200 mph.
Can you survive jumping off deck of aircraft carrier?
No
If after having a dream about sex if your still a virgin?
Yes. If you had a dream about jumping out of a plane, you wouldn't tell people you are a skydiver. Dreaming it does not equal doing it.
A skydiver jumps from a plane at an altitude of 7000 feet What is the approximate altitude of the diver after fifteen seconds of free fall?
For the average skydiver, the first 15 seconds would cover 2,000 feet. So jumping from 7,000 feet would put him at 5,000 feet in 15 seconds.

What is skydive?
There is not such thing as skydive parabungying. There is however 2 separate sports - skydiving (jumping from an aircraft with a packed parachute) and bungy jumping (leaping from a crane or bridge with a strong elastic rope).

What is the skydiver's upward velocity after 1 second?
I presume you mean 1 second after jumping from the plane. Since skydiver's fall, their velocity is generally in a downward direction, so the upward velocity is negative. The formula v = gt, where g is the acceleration due to gravity which is about 32.2 feet per second per second, tells us that after 1 second it would be about -32.2 feet per second.
What will happen when passenger of aircraft start jumping in flight during steady flight?
it depends on what aircraft is it in a single rotor helicopter , the helicopter might move up n down a bit in any aeroplane there will be nothing happening.
What was the fastest flight by a man without an aircraft was comlpeted by?
The fastest flight by a man without aircraft usually are not recorded. One of the fastest flights may occur in sky diving or jumping off a cliff. Since they are not recorded it cannot be told who made the fastest flight without aircraft.
