In 3-5 sentences, summarize the balanced forces that are present when a soccer ball is resting on the ground, and the
unbalanced forces that are present when a soccer ball is kicked and moves through the air or rolls on the ground.
When a soccer ball is resting on the ground, there is a balanced force between the weight of the ball and the upward force exerted by the ground. These forces cancel each other out, resulting in the ball staying stationary.
However, when a soccer ball is kicked, unbalanced forces come into play. The force applied by the kicker overcomes the ball's inertia, leading to an unbalanced force that propels the ball forward. As the ball moves through the air or rolls on the ground, there are additional unbalanced forces, such as air resistance or friction, acting in the opposite direction to slow down the ball's motion.
