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

1 answer

The correct statement is:

d. A stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.

This is because a stronger kick applies more force to the ball, which increases its velocity and allows it to travel a greater distance.
