Question

isabella kicks a soccer ball with 6 n of force along the grass. the ball exerts a 2 n force back on isabellas foot.
which statement best describes what will happen to the ball after she kicks it?
it will accelerate toward isabellas foot due to unbalanced forces
it will not move due to balanced forces.
it will accelerate away from isabellas foot due to unbalanced forces.
it will move away from isabellas foot due to the force of friction.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second - law, an unbalanced force causes acceleration. Isabella exerts a 6 N force on the ball and the ball exerts a 2 N force back on her foot. The net force on the ball is in the direction Isabella kicks it. Friction is not the main cause of the ball's initial motion; the initial motion is due to the unbalanced applied force.

Answer:

It will accelerate away from Isabella's foot due to unbalanced forces.
