Consider a skydiver falling towards the Earth. Air friction acts to oppose their motion. At some point the skydiver reaches their terminal speed: their constant maximum speed (before they open the parachute). Before and after terminal speed is reached, what can you say about the relationship between the force of air friction and the force of gravity? Briefly explain.
