simple and in short three sentence
1 answer
The skydiver with a greater mass will experience a greater gravitational force pulling them down, causing them to fall faster than the skydiver with a smaller mass. Both skydivers will experience air resistance, but the skydiver with more mass will experience a greater force of air resistance. The skydiver with less mass will have a slower fall due to the combined effects of gravity and air resistance.
