All depends on how high the plane is above the ground, whether it's over solid ground or water, if you've got a parachute or not, or if you're lucky enough to fall in an absolutely huge haystack lol. So yes, you can, it just depends on the situation and circumstance.

If a plane flies 200m per s into a headwind of 50m per s what is the resultant speed?

This question is a perfect case where it's important to somehow describe the "reference frame" in which a particular speed is measured.For example, if the "200 meters per second" is the plane's AIRspeed, then as long as the fuel holds out,that speed doesn't change, no matter what kind of air the plane flies through.It's clear that this question is interesting only if all the speeds are measured relative to the GROUND.If the plane's groundspeed is 200 meters per second, and it encounters a wind that's blowingacross the ground at 50 meters per second in the opposite direction, then the plane's groundspeedbecomes 150 meters per second.


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.?

As a skydiver falls, they accelerate due to the force of gravity. However, they eventually reach their terminal velocity when the upward force of air resistance balances the downward force of gravity. At terminal velocity, the forces are balanced and the skydiver no longer accelerates.
