as a skydiver falls to the earth,there is air friction in the opposite direction to the force of gravity pulling him towards the earth. As he falls to earth he reaches a higher & higher speed up until the point at which the force of friction caused by air (upwards) is the same as or equals the force of gravity (downwards) and he cannot accelerate any further..ie he reaches a top speed
