The two forces present when a skydiver jumps out of the plane are air resistance and gravity.

An object moving downwards is under the influence forces which oppose the downward motion of the object.

The downwards forces on the skydiver when he jumped out of the plane include the following;

  • Air resistance: this is the opposing force due to friction of the air
  • Gravity: this is the opposing force due to the weight of the skydiver

Thus, we can conclude that the two forces present when a skydiver jumps out of the plane are air resistance and gravity.
