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 10 kg/N backward 10 kg/N backward 5 N backward 5 N backward 100 kg forward 100 kg forward 5 N forward

Answer 1

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

So, the correct response is **5 N backward**.
