Initially, the skydiver will experience an acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 downward. As the skydiver falls, air resistance will oppose this acceleration, causing the skydiver to reach a terminal velocity where the downward acceleration due to gravity is balanced by the upward force of air resistance.
