If a soccer ball’s mass is 5 kg and a player who weighs kicks the soccer ball forward with a force of 5 N, how much force does the ball exert on the player’s foot, and in what direction?(1 point)

Question

Responses

5 kg forward
5 kg forward

5 N backward
5 N backward

10 N forward
10 N forward

10 kg/N backward

Answer 1

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

When the player kicks the soccer ball with a force of 5 N, the soccer ball exerts an equal force of 5 N back on the player's foot in the opposite direction.

Thus, the correct response is:

5 N backward.
