When a skydiver falls, he constantly accelerates. Therby, falling faster and faster. But also he is slowed down a bit due to the force of air resistance.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.
