Question 4
When the soccer ball comes in contact with the ground it bounces back up. Why does that happen?(1 point)
Responses

The ground pushes back with equal force but in the opposite direction. The ball bounces because the mass of the ball is equal to the mass of the Earth.

The ground pushes back with equal force but in the opposite direction. The ball bounces because the mass of the ball is less than the mass of the Earth.

The ground pushes back with equal force but in the same direction. The ball bounces because the mass of the ball is greater than the mass of the Earth.
The ground pushes back with equal force but in the same direction. The ball bounces because the mass of the ball is greater than the mass of the Earth.

Here are the correct answers to each of the questions provided:

**Question 1:** When a soccer ball is at rest on the ground, what are the balanced forces that are acting on it?
**Response:** Normal force is pushing up on the soccer ball and the Gravitational force is pulling down on the soccer ball.

**Question 2:** A force of 100 N to the right is applied to a soccer ball when it is kicked. An opposite force of 5 N to the left is applied to the soccer ball due to the friction of the grass. What is the net force applied to the object?
**Response:** 95 N to the right.
**(Net force calculation: 100 N (right) - 5 N (left) = 95 N (right))**

**Question 3:** When the soccer ball is moving through the air to the right, what is the main force that is acting on the ball, causing its movement to the right, to slow down?
**Response:** Air Resistance (drag or fluid friction).

**Question 4:** When the soccer ball comes in contact with the ground it bounces back up. Why does that happen?
**Response:** The ground pushes back with equal force but in the opposite direction. The ball bounces because the mass of the ball is less than the mass of the Earth.
