Question

If a soccer ball’s mass is 5 kg and a player who weighs 50 kg kicks the soccer ball forward with a force of 5 N , how much force does the ball exert on the player’s foot and in what direction?(1 point)
Responses

5 N backward
5 N backward

5 N forward
5 N forward

10 kg/N backward
10 kg/N backward

100 kg forward

Answer 1

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if the player exerts a force of 5 N on the soccer ball in the forward direction, the soccer ball will exert an equal force of 5 N on the player's foot in the opposite direction.

Thus, the correct response is:

**5 N backward**
