What happens to the motion of a skydiver when they reach terminal velocity?
Please help! I can't find anything to help me answer this.

terminal velocity is when air resistance is equal to the gravitational force
since the net force on the skydiver is zero, there is no more acceleration
hence the term "terminal velocity"
