  1. Imagine a football stationary on the ground or even moving through the air.

    You then apply a nonzero force (i.e. you kick it)

    What happens?

  6. Afraid not, try again.

    You can't have a force greater than the reaction force as Newtons 3rd Law states that 'Every action has an equal and opposite reaction'.

    Imagine kicking a wall. If you kick it gently your foot doesn't feel much of a force back but if you kick it hard you will hurt your foot. The reaction force depends on the force you apply in the first place.

  9. edit: my reply before was to your reply of 'B'?

    A nonzero force just means a force. It means that 0N isn't allowed as that wont affect anything.

    It's not D either I'm afraid.
    Damon said the correct answer there.
