Answer 1

The correct response is:

The applied force results in a balanced force on the box and an unbalanced force on the ball.

This means that the box likely has enough mass and frictional force acting against the motion that it does not move, while the soccer ball, being much lighter and having less friction, responds to the applied force and changes motion.
