To determine if the student answered correctly, we need to evaluate whether their response involved applying a force to the ball in order to give it kinetic energy. If the student described an action such as kicking, throwing, or nudging the ball, or any other method that involves exerting a force on the ball, then they answered correctly.

If they provided a response that did not involve a force being applied—such as just saying "the ball will move" without describing a method to initiate that movement—then they did not answer correctly.

Please provide the student's response so I can evaluate it according to the answer key you've provided.
