There are two possibilities. One is that he is falling at a constant (positive) speed. In this case, the downward force of gravity is exactly offset by the upward force of drag or air resistance. The parachutist is said to have reached terminal velocity.
The second possibility is that he is moving downwards at a constant speed of zero. He has hit the ground! The parachutist may be said to have reached a terminal situation!

For a car moving around a circular track at a constant speed the acceleration is?
constant speed=0 acceleration Acceleration is the change in speed. If the speed doesn't change(ie constant) the acceleration is zero.
Examples of constant speed but changing acceleration?
A body moving with constant speed in a circular path has acceleration changing at every point.
What will be acceleration of a car moving in a circular motion with constant speed.?
If body is moving in a circle with uniform or constant speed its acceleration will be uniform as velocity i.e. to say direction is changing at every point.
How do you use a word constant in a sentence?
I wonder what is the constant speed of this moving car
If a ferris wheel is rotating at constant speed is it moving at a constant velocity?
No. Velocity combines speed and the direction of motion.Constant velocity is constant speed in a straight line.In circular motion, the velocity is always changing even if the speed is constant,because the direction is always changing.
