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 7.5 N , how much force does the ball exert on the player’s foot and in what direction?(1 point) Responses 7.5 N backward 7.5 N backward 10 kg/N backward 10 kg/N backward 7.5 N forward 7.5 N forward 100 kg forward
By Newton's third law, the force exerted by the ball on the player's foot is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by the player on the ball.
Therefore, the ball exerts a force of 7.5 N backward on the player's foot.
The correct response is: 7.5 N backward.
