Answer:

air resistance and gravity.

Explanation:

When the ball is falling down at terminal velocity, the velocity is constant.

This means that the net force acting on the ball will be zero (there is no acceleration)

In this situation, there are only two forces that can act on the ball.

The gravitational force, that pulls the ball down.

The air resistance which opposes to the movement of the ball and increases in magnitude as the velocity of the ball increases.

Then there is a point where the velocity of the ball is such that the air resistance is equal in magnitude to the acceleration, and then the net force becomes zero.

Then the two forces that need to be included in this diagram are the air resistance and gravity.
