Two skydivers of different masses jump from a plane. How do their falls compare, taking into account the effects of gravity, mass, and air resistance?

Question

A.Both skydivers fall at the same speed because gravity affects all objects equally, regardless of their mass.
B.The skydiver with the larger mass falls faster initially, but both reach a similar terminal velocity due to air resistance.
C.The skydiver with the smaller mass falls faster because they have less air resistance.
D. The skydiver with the larger mass falls faster because gravity pulls harder on objects with more mass.

Answer 1

B. The skydiver with the larger mass falls faster initially, but both reach a similar terminal velocity due to air resistance.
