1. First seconds, the parachutist is falling faster (accelerating)
2. As velocity increases, the air resistance will increase, (up-forces= weight) which leads to reaching a constant velocity called "terminal velocity"
3. When he opens the parachute, the air resistance increases so he slows down gradually (decelerating)
4. But decreasing velocity leads to decrease the air resistance
5. When he slows down the forces become balanced again, leads to constant velocity again "terminal velocity"
6. When he touches the ground his velocity reach zero in no time
