Question

A resting soccer ball moving after it is kicked is an example of which of Newton's laws?

Question 10 options:

A) 1st Law
B) 2nd Law
C) 3rd Law

Answer 1

B) 2nd Law

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's second law states that:

When a net force F is exerted on an object of mass m, the object experiences an acceleration a, given by the formula

`F=ma`

This law means that if an object is acted upon an unbalanced force F, it is accelerated. In this example, the soccer ball at rest is acted upon a force (given by the kick), so it accelerates and it starts moving.
