Question

magnitude and direction of force quick check
a soccer player kicks a ball toward a net. which statement correctly explains how far the ball will travel? (1 point)
a stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will not travel as far.
a stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.
a stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.
a stronger kick corresponds to a lesser magnitude of force, so the ball will not travel as far.

Explanation:

Force affects motion. A stronger kick (greater magnitude of force) imparts more energy to the ball. According to the principles of motion in physics, more force generally leads to greater acceleration and thus the ball travels farther.

Answer:

A stronger kick corresponds to a greater magnitude of force, so the ball will travel farther.
