Similarly, a stationary football can be made to move by giving it a small push (i.e., by kicking it). If we have an already moving toy car or ball, we can make it move faster by giving it a push in the direction in which it is moving.

Answer 2

To move a stationary football in particular direction, a football player should kick the football towards that particular direction.

• According to the first law of Newton, without any application of external forces, a body at rest will always stay at rest and a body in motion will always move in straight line direction.
• According to the given situation, the football was stationary or in the state of rest. As per the statement of the Newton's first law, to break this state of rest, we have to apply some amount of force in it.
• This force is applied on the football by kicking it. After the force is applied the football will start moving, in the direction of the applied force.
• Now, to move the football in a particular direction, the force (ie. kick) should be applied towards that particular direction by the footballer.
