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 forward
5 N forward

100 kg forward
100 kg forward

5 N backward
5 N backward

10 kg/N backward

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

5 N backward

Since the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the player's foot, the force exerted by the ball on the player's foot would be 5 N backward.
