Asked by Cameron Lawrence
A skydiver jumps out of a plane and reaches her terminal speed of 120 mph after falling for 15 s. How fast will the skydiver be going 12.4 s later at the moment she pulls the ripcord? (The parachute hasn't deployed yet)

You are asking the same question again and again.
At terminal speed the speed is constant. The drag force up equals the weight force down. Once at 120, always at 120 (until the parachute increases the drag and a lower speed balances the weight again) )
