Physics is everything. Sky diving includes all fundementals of physics. As you go soaring through the air, there are many things that pull you down back to earth. For example, a person's mass is something that brings you down. The greater you're mass, the faster you will get pulled down. Along with mass, gravity plays a roll in sky diving. The force is pulling you towards the center of the earth. The higher up in the air that you are, the less gravitational pull there is.

Another thing to think about is that while your mass and the force of gravity is pulling you down, the force of drag or air resistance is pushing you up. Awesome post!
