Question

Apply Newton’s third law of motion to explain movements of a soccer ball during a game of soccer.

Answer 1

Newton's third law is states:

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"

When a footballer kick the ball with force F, the ball also pushes the foot of the footballer with the same force but in opposite direction.


When the ball hits the ground/goal post with force F, the ground/goalpost also pushes the ball with the same force but in opposite direction.


When a goalkeeper catches the ball, the ball will push him backwards as he pushes the ball forward.
