A stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.
A stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.

A stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will not travel as far.

The correct statement is:

"A stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther."

This is based on the principle of Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = m * a). A stronger force (or kick) will result in greater acceleration of the ball, causing it to travel a longer distance.
