Answer:

The acceleration will become zero

Step-by-step explanation:

When the parachute of a falling soldier is opened the wide surface area decreases his velocity. This also translates to the drag force acting on the fallen soldier

The acceleration will become zero when the velocity of the fallen soldier is constant. This principle is the reason the parachute is used for safety reasons .
