OpenStudy (anonymous):

a parachute raches terminal velocity (the point where the jumper no longer speeds up and has reached maximum velocity) what is the value of Fdrag if Fg=850

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"terminal velocity" means velocity is constant and acceleration is zero. Therefore the net force is zero, and Fdrag = 850 N.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

A more accurate way to put it would be to say that terminal velocity occurs when the drag force equals the weight of the falling object.
