a soccer player kicks a ball toward a net. which statement correctly explains how far the ball will travel?

a a stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther
b a stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will not travel as far
c a stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther
d a stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will not travel so far

The magnitude of a force refers to the amount or strength of the force. So, the answer is b) the amount of force.

The correct statement that best explains this result is c) balanced forces do not cause motion. When two opposite forces of equal magnitude are applied to an object, they cancel each other out, resulting in a net force of zero. This balanced force does not cause the object to move.

The statement that correctly explains how far the ball will travel is c) a stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther. In general, a stronger kick implies a greater magnitude of force being applied to the ball, which will result in the ball traveling a greater distance.
