Two skydivers of different masses jump from a plane. In three to five sentences, explain how their falls compare, including the effects of gravity, mass, and air resistance.(4 sentences)
The two skydivers will experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their masses. However, the skydiver with a greater mass will experience a greater force of gravity pulling them down. As they fall, air resistance will act against their motion, slowing them down. The skydiver with a greater mass will experience less air resistance compared to the lighter skydiver, causing them to fall faster and reach the ground first.
