**Question**

What makes a soccer ball accelerate when kicked?

**Options**

- Gravity
- Normal force
- Tension
- Spring force
- Air resistance
- Friction
- Applied force
- No net force

**Explanation**

This question is part of a physics assessment designed to help students understand the forces involved in the motion of a soccer ball. When a soccer ball is kicked, the main force responsible for its acceleration is the applied force. While other forces such as gravity, air resistance, and friction also act on the ball, they do not initiate its acceleration when being kicked.

Step 1: Determine the forces on kicked ball

When a soccer ball is kicked, then the forces act on it is the applied force by foot and gravitational force. Also there is air resistance force which opposes its motion.
