6 A skydiver jumps from an aeroplane. After a few seconds, he reaches a terminal velocity without opening his parachute. Why does he reach terminal velocity? A Air resistance becomes greater than his weight and slows him down. B Air resistance decreases and he speeds up. C Air resistance increases and balances his weight so that his acceleration is zero. D His weight decreases and balances the air resistance.
