A soccer player kicks a ball toward a net. Which statement correctly explains how far the ball will travel?(1 point)
Responses
A stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.

Four people stand on each side of a large box. All four people push the box with the same amount of force.
The situation in which the magnitude of the total force is greater than the magnitude of each of the individual forces is: Four people stand on each side of a large box. All four people push the box with the same amount of force.
This will create a larger total force because the forces are additive when they are in the same direction.
