A stick is used to hit a ball at an angle above the horizontal, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows the free body diagram of the ball. Figure 3 shows the free body diagram of the stick. Which of the following pairs of forces represents an action-reaction pair and the object or objects involved in the action-reaction pair?

A falling skydiver opens his parachute. A short time later, the weight of the skydiver-parachute system and the drag force exerted on the system are equal in magnitude. Which of the following statements predicts the motion of the skydiver at this time?

• The skydiver is at rest.

• The skydiver is moving downward with constant speed.

• The skydiver is moving downward with an upward acceleration.

• The skydiver is moving downward with a downward acceleration.
