When A parachutist reaches it terminal speed?
When a parachutist reaches terminal speed, the force of air resistance pushing up on the parachutist equals the force of gravity pulling the parachutist downward. At this point, the net force on the parachutist is zero, resulting in a constant velocity.
When was Leslie Irvin - parachutist - born?
Leslie Irvin - parachutist - was born in 1895.
When did Leslie Irvin - parachutist - die?

James Miller - parachutist - died in 2002.
When a parachutist is moving with a constant speed what happens?
There are two possibilities. One is that he is falling at a constant (positive) speed. In this case, the downward force of gravity is exactly offset by the upward force of drag or air resistance. The parachutist is said to have reached terminal velocity. The second possibility is that he is moving downwards at a constant speed of zero. He has hit the ground! The parachutist may be said to have reached a terminal situation!
What are the 2 forces acting on a parachutist?
Gravity (downwards), and air resistance (upwards).
