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 or air resistance.
The skydiver with a larger mass will experience a greater gravitational force pulling them down, causing them to accelerate faster than the skydiver with a smaller mass. However, both skydivers will experience the same amount of air resistance as they fall, which will eventually equalize the forces acting on them and lead to a constant terminal velocity. The difference in mass will not significantly affect their falls once they reach terminal velocity.
