A skydiver stops speeding up and falls steadily. At that point drag equals his:

AWeight
BWidth
CWarmth
DWisdom
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Weight
1. Steady fall means no net force. 2. Gravity pulls down, drag pushes up. 3. So drag equals his weight. _Source: OpenStax University Physics Volume 1, Chapter 6, Applications of Newton's Laws._
