Question

You give a soccer ball a hard kick on the grass. The ball eventually comes to a stop. Which force stops the soccer ball from moving?

A. Gravity
B. Friction
C. Pull
C. Push

Answer 1

Friction stops the soccer ball from moving. You’re applying a force towards a direction but friction still is present and it eventually stops the ball from going further. If there was no friction the ball would keep going on forever, hence newton’s first law of motion

Answer 2

Answer: Friction

Step-by-step explanation: It is Friction because force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball slowing it and eventually stopping it.
