Describe the forces acting on a skydiver who has reached terminal velocity.
Gravitational force and air resistance are equal and opposite.
Only gravitational force acts on the skydiver.
Only air resistance acts on the skydiver.
Gravitational force is greater than air resistance.
Which type of force is responsible for keeping a satellite in orbit around the Earth?
Tension force

Explain how Newton's Third Law of Motion applies to the motion of a swimmer pushing against the water.
The swimmer's push on the water creates a reaction force that propels them forward.
The swimmer's push on the water decreases their speed.
The swimmer's push on the water increases the water's temperature.
The swimmer's push on the water has no effect on their motion.
