Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

A ball is released from rest and falls through air until it eventually attains a constant velocity. During this motion, forces X and Y change with time as shown. What could forces X and Y be?

  • Aforce X: air resistance; force Y: resultant force
  • Bforce X: air resistance; force Y: weight
  • Cforce X: upthrust; force Y: resultant force
  • Dforce X: upthrust; force Y: weight
