If you jumped out of a plane,you would begin speeding up as you fall downward.Eventually,due to wind resistance,your velocity would become constant with time.After this occurs,the magnitude of the force of wind resistance is
A)equal to the force of gravity acting on you.
B)is much smaller than the force of gravity acting on you.
C)is slightly smaller than the force of gravity acting on you.
D)is greater than the force of gravity acting on you.
