Question

aaliyah kicks a soccer ball towards the goalie. match each of newtons laws of motion to the statement it best describes. newtons first law of motion newtons second law of motion newtons third law of motion the ball will remain at rest until aaliyah kicks the ball. the harder aaliyah kicks the ball, the faster it will accelerate. if aaliyah kicks the ball with a 40-pound force, the ball will apply a 40-pound force onto aaliyahs foot.

Explanation:

1. For the statement "The ball will remain at rest until Aaliyah kicks the ball": Newton's first law (law of inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. The ball is at rest until the kick (external force) acts on it, so this matches Newton's first law of motion.
2. For the statement "The harder Aaliyah kicks the ball, the faster it will accelerate": Newton's second law is \( F = ma \) (force equals mass times acceleration), which means that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied (when mass is constant). A harder kick means a larger force, leading to greater acceleration, so this matches Newton's second law of motion.
3. For the statement "If Aaliyah kicks the ball with a 40 - pound force, the ball will apply a 40 - pound force onto Aaliyah’s foot": Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The kick (action force) from Aaliyah's foot on the ball results in an equal and opposite reaction force from the ball on her foot, so this matches Newton's third law of motion.

Answer:

• "The ball will remain at rest until Aaliyah kicks the ball" : Newton's first law of motion
• "The harder Aaliyah kicks the ball, the faster it will accelerate" : Newton's second law of motion
• "If Aaliyah kicks the ball with a 40 - pound force, the ball will apply a 40 - pound force onto Aaliyah’s foot" : Newton's third law of motion
