Answer:

Answer A is the correct one

Explanation:

The force of gravity is pulling down in the orange, while the force of resistance with the air is pushing up on the orange. This last force could be viewed as a type of "friction" force with the air.

A) The force of gravity is pulling down in the orange, while the force of friction is pushing up on the orange

  • Gravity always pulls objects down. Gravity pulls you down to the ground when you jump.
  • Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces. This force pulls a sliding object in the opposing direction of another object.
  • The forces that are acting on the falling orange are: The force of gravity is pulling down in the orange, while the force of resistance with the air is pushing up on the orange.
