Question

4 is the soccer ball sitting on the grass balanced or unbalanced? 5. what would cause a change in the soccer balls state of rest?

Explanation:

1. When a soccer - ball is sitting on the grass, the gravitational force pulling it down is balanced by the normal force exerted by the grass upwards. So it is balanced.
2. According to Newton's first law, an unbalanced force is required to change an object's state of rest. For a soccer - ball, a push (e.g., a kick from a player) or a pull (e.g., a strong wind) would be an unbalanced force that can change its state of rest.

Answer:

1. Balanced
2. An unbalanced force such as a kick or a strong wind.
