Question

A surfer is able to stay on the surfboard as she rides the waves.

Which explains the force(s) that enable her to do this?

Answer 1

A.
The force of gravity pulls the surfer into the surfboard with enough force to hold her on the surfboard.

B.
The surfer exerts a force on the surfboard, and the surfboard exerts a force on the surfer that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

C.
The forward force of the surfboard's acceleration is balanced by the backward force of the surfer's mass.

D.
The force of friction between the surfer and the surfboard keeps the two traveling together.

Answer 2

A B and D are all true, and alll related to each other, ridiculous question

Answer 3

B. The surfer exerts a force on the surfboard, and the surfboard exerts a force on the surfer that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

That seems the most correct response. The surfer has the force of gravity pushing her and the mass of the surfboard down the wave front equalling the force of friction pushing back from her feet to the board and the board to the water surface and her force is balanced by the wave lifting up underneath her

Answer 4

i agree with B, but without friction, she aint staying on the surfboard
