Which statement is correct about the relationship between the net force
and the ball's movement? (1 point)
The net force causes an increase in acceleration because without the force
the ball's velocity would remain the same.
A decrease in acceleration causes the net force to be nonzero because
causation works in both directions.

The correct statement about the relationship between the net force and the ball's movement is:
The net force causes a decrease in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same.
This statement reflects Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object in motion will continue in that motion unless acted upon by a net external force. In this case, the net force acts to decelerate the ball, causing it to come to a stop.
