Question

Seth and Leah each kick a soccer ball. Leah's ball goes farther than Seth's. What must be true of the force of Leah's kick?

A) Leah's force can not be compared to Seth's force.
B) Leah kicked the soccer ball with more force than Seth.
C) Leah kicked the soccer ball with less force than Seth.
D) Leah kicked the soccer ball with the same force than Seth.

Answer 1

B) Leah kicked the soccer ball with more force than Seth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The true statement is that Leah kicked the soccer ball with more force compared to Seth.

We know that both balls have the same mass and that Seth's ball went further compared to Leah's ball.

So;

Force = mass x acceleration

We are sure that Leah's ball has a greater acceleration due to the force applied and it will travel farther due to the energy it contains.
