Question

A soccer ball accelerates as it rolls down a steep hill and then gradually comes to a stop at the bottom. According to Newton's laws which of the following statements could be true?

Statement 1: While the ball was rolling down the hill the forces acting on it were unbalanced.

Statement 2: The ball came to a stop at the bottom because all moving objects must eventually stop.

Statement 3: Balanced forces acted on the ball once it reached the bottom of the hill causing it to stop.
Group of answer choices

Only Statement 3 is true.

All three statements are true.

Statement 1 and 2 are both true.

Only Statement 1 is true.

Answer 1

b or C?

Answer 2

Well for one here are his laws
Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it. Force equals mass times acceleration [ ]. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Answer 3

Moving objects are eventually supposed to stop is too general.

Answer 4

So only D?

Answer 5

thats what I think, but I want justjms opinion @justjm

Answer 6

okay

Answer 7

Yeah remember unbalanced force = acceleration
So statement 1 is right
Statement 2 is wrong because all moving objects don't necessarily come to a stop. Here on earth they do because friction and air resistance acts as a force against the force of application.
Statement 3 is wrong. An unbalanced force had to act on the accelerating ball to yield a net force on the ball, causing it to have no acceleration.

So I'll agree with Gdein, good job

Answer 8

thank you guys
