Answer:

Newton's laws of motion could be applied to Maddie and the soccer ball as follows;

When Maddie lines up the soccer ball, the ball remains in its position according to Newton's first law of motion which states that all objects remain in their rest state, or continue in their motion with a constant speed, unless the object is acted upon by an external force

According to Newton's second law of motion, when Maddie kicks the soccer ball, the ball the state of the ball quickly changes from being at rest to being in motion, as such the ball is accelerated by the force of the kick and the direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the kick

According to Newton's third of motion, when the ball impacts the back of the net with a given amount of force, the net reacts with the same amount of force in opposite direction to that of the ball, resulting in the vibration of the net and the return of the ball into the pitch by the net
