Question

GCSE Physics-Forces affecting falling objects.
My falling object is a skydiver

Can you please help me to find the information needed? Nothing too complicated please.

Here is a list of things I need to include but I have no idea where this information can be found on the internet.

To achieve a grade A I need to have:

-Used labelled diagrams to illustrates your explanations and identify forces involved.
-Used detailed diagrams to explain the forces on a sky diver
-used correct units where appropriate.
-Explained what happens when terminal velocity is reached.

For a A*
-Explain the energy transformations occurring during the skydive.

Please not that I have completed grade C and B so I have done half the work...it just need help to find the necessary information to include in my work to achieve a much higher grade.

Thank You .... Your help is very much appreciated.
