Question

when kicking a ball, what force brings it back down to earth? contact force gravitational force electromagnetic force weak force

Explanation:

Gravitational force is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. On Earth, it pulls objects (like a kicked ball) back towards the planet's surface. Contact force is a force that acts at the point of contact between two objects. Electromagnetic force is related to electric and magnetic interactions. Weak force is involved in certain nuclear processes. Since the question is about the force pulling the ball back to Earth, gravitational force is the relevant one.

Answer:

gravitational force
