A nonzero net force acts on a moving ball, and the ball comes to a stop. Which statement is correct about the relationship between the net force and the ball's movement?(1 point) Responses The net force causes a decrease in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same. The net force causes a decrease in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same. The net force causes an increase in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same. The net force causes an increase in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same. A decrease in acceleration causes the net force to be nonzero because causation works in both directions. A decrease in acceleration causes the net force to be nonzero because causation works in both directions. An increase in acceleration causes the net force to be nonzero because causation works in both directions. An increase in acceleration causes the net force to be nonzero because causation works in both directions.
The statement "The net force causes a decrease in acceleration because without the force the ball's velocity would remain the same" is correct. When a nonzero net force acts on a moving ball and the ball comes to a stop, it means that the force is acting in the opposite direction to the ball's motion, causing a decrease in acceleration. Without the force, the ball's velocity would remain the same, or continue moving at a constant speed.
