A soccer ball rests on the ground in a stationary position. Which of the following bestdescribes the forces acting on the ball?

Question

(1 point)
unequal forces
balanced forces
unbalanced forces
accelerating forces

Answer 1

The correct description of the forces acting on the soccer ball is balanced forces.

Since the ball is stationary and not moving, the forces acting on it (such as gravity pulling it downward and the normal force from the ground pushing it upward) are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, thus balancing each other out.
