Skier pushes him self along the snow on flat ground he feels Erizo cents on his body which way

Forward

Explanation:

Since the skier pushes himself along the snow on flat ground and he feels air resistance, he will only feels air resistance when he starts moving (unless wind is blowing in opposite direction). The net force vector is dependent on the amount of force applied by the skier here we assume that skier continues to move in forward direction. The net force vector will act in the direction of acceleration, since the skier continues to move in the forward direction, therefore the net force vector will also point in the forward direction.

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
