Question

If a soccer ball’s mass is 5 kg and a player who weighs 50 kg 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) Responses 5 N backward 5 N backward 100 kg forward 100 kg forward 5 N forward 5 N forward 10 kg/N backward

Answer 1

According to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted by the ball on the player's foot will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the player on the ball.

Since the player kicks the ball forward with a force of 5 N, the ball will exert a force of 5 N in the backward direction on the player's foot.

Therefore, the correct response is: 5 N backward
