Answer:

D. The skier's weight, the force of friction between the skis and snow,

and the force of air resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

If two objects, such as the the skier, and skies undergo a fast velocity downward, the net force is the total force or newtons which are all components of weight as apparent to mass and gravity, friction, which is the contact force of the skis on the snow, and air resistance which limits the air resistance is the opposite force acting on the object I'm the air relative to the density of air, cross sectional area of the object, the coefficient of drag which is based on the density of the object, it's area, and dynamic air pressure.

D Would he the best answer if your talking of the friction due to the weight and velocity of the object hope that helps
