A skydiver of mass m jumps out of a plane. He is subject to a resistive drag force FD = bv^2, where b is a constant with units of N s^2/m^2, and v is his velocity. This is a force of air resistance that acts in the direction opposite of motion because it is a force of air friction. Terminal velocity is defined as the velocity achieved by the falling object when it's no longer accelerating, but only falling with constant velocity. Which of the following expressions gives skydiver terminal velocity?
