If a skier is in a jump, then a skier and skydiver is pretty much the same thing. In general though, a skydiver has only air resistance, the skier has air resistance and friction with the ski-snow, so the skydiver has an edge on speed.

A skier on a hill has potential energy due to?

A skier on a hill has potential energy due to their position above the ground. This energy is a result of gravity pulling the skier downward. As the skier descends the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


When a skier is going down a mountain is it a balanced force?

By definition, if he is accelerating, then it is an unbalanced force ... which means he JUST jumped out the plane and his downward speed in increasing. Once he reaches a particular speed (called terminal velocity; lets call it for a general case of about 110 mph), the force of DRAG will be equal to the force due to gravity and he will no longer be accelerating, no longer increasing in speed, and he will then have balanced forces. Since the variables are always changing, drag will change with the most subtle changes in the skydiver's orientation either intentionally or unintentionally and the air resistance is constantly changing with increase in density, the forces will never be truly balanced. The effect of both forces will seesaw between one or the other being dominant. Terminal velocity is achieved when that process is minimal. It is of note that the effect of gravity itself is changing but over a skydive, the effect is negligible and may be ignored.
