a soccer player kicks a ball. the ball accelerates across the field. which of newton’s laws best explains why the ball changes speed?
○ newton’s second law
○ none of the above
○ newton’s first law
○ newton’s third law

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net - force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass ($F = ma$). When a soccer player kicks a ball, a force is applied, causing the ball to accelerate (change speed).

Answer:

A. Newton's Second Law
