Question

A soccer ball rests on the ground in a stationary position. Which of the following best describes the forces acting on the ball?
Responses

unbalanced forces
unbalanced forces - no response given

unequal forces
unequal forces - no response given

accelerating forces
accelerating forces - no response given

balanced forces

Answer 1

so which one is the right answer

Answer 2

The best description of the forces acting on the soccer ball in a stationary position is "balanced forces."

In this scenario, the force of gravity acting downward on the ball is balanced by the normal force acting upward from the ground. Since these forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, the net force on the ball is zero, which keeps it stationary.

Answer 3

The right answer is **balanced forces**.
