Worked Solution

Step 1: Understand that a force applied in the same direction as motion results in acceleration (speeding up). Step [2-9]: Since the kick is in the same direction, the ball will not change its path. Step [2-9]: Identify that mass is the amount of matter and is not affected by force. Final Answer: The ball moved faster in the same direction.

Correct answer: The ball moved faster in the same direction.
