Answer 1

The subject of this question is projectile motion, specifically in relation to a soccer ball.

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, the subject of this question is projectile motion.

Projectile motion is the motion of an object that is launched into the air and moves along a curved trajectory influenced by gravity. In soccer, when a player kicks the ball, it follows a projectile motion.

At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the goalkeeper's hands, the ball is not in motion and therefore not exhibiting projectile motion. Therefore, the option that represents projectile motion in this question is C) with the opponent's foot.
