Question

If the foot kicks the ball with an action force of 40 N, the force which the

ball exerts on the foot will:
O a. depend on the mass of the foot and the ball.
O b. depend on whether or not the ball is moving.
O c. depend on whether or not the player was running.
O d. be 40 N of reaction force.

Answer 1

the answer is (d) the force which the ball exerts on the foot will be 40 N of reaction force.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, the force exerted by the ball on the foot will be equal and opposite to the action force exerted by the foot on the ball.
