Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When she lines up------1st law: the ball will be at rest until she acts on the ball

The first law state that "In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it."

When she kicks the ball----2nd law: the ball constantly changes direction and velocity depending on the applied force by her

The second law states that "In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration."

When she scores a goal-----3rd law: the force with which she kicks the ball to score a goal is equal to the reaction of the goal net

The third laws states that "In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction."
