When a skydiver jumps out of a plane in free fall, they hit a
terminal velocity of approximatley 120 miles/hour. How can
they can increase their terminal velocity?

Answer:

By decreasing the surface area exposed to the air. Vertical body position instead of horizontal.

Explanation:

So the terminal velocity formula is as follows.

v = sqrt[(2*m*g)/(p*A*c)]

m = mass

g = 9.81 m/s^2

p = density of air

A = surface area of object

c = Drag coefficient

So the only thing you can change in mid-air is surface area.
