Examine the boxes below both boxes are identical yo one another the mass of each box is concentrated in the very center so the center of mass is in the middle of the box remember theat mass is similar to weight the arrows reprsent gravity pulling down on the center of mass of each box which of the boxes represent a stable system

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.

i think the answer is a and b

i wish you luck
