“Newton suggested that objects like the soccer ball have a natural tendency to keep moving. The only reason they stop, he believed, is because an unbalanced force acts.” What does tendency mean?
A
a very small chance of something happening
B
a fifty-fifty chance of something happening
C
the fear of doing something or acting in a certain way
D
the way something normally behaves or acts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Forces that do not sum up to zero can cause changes in an object’s speed or direction. When the footballer kicks the ball, he applies a force greater than the force of gravity. This creates an unbalanced force and sets the ball in motion.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Newton’s First Law of Motion, a soccer ball will stay at rest unless a force of some sort moves it, and it will stay in motion unless a different force stops it. The force that usually moves the soccer ball is the player’s kick.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravity, Normal Force, Friction Force, and Applied Force are the four forces. Force of Gravity is constantly employed in football when the ball is thrown or kicked, when a player leaps in the air to avoid a tackle or catch a ball, and when a player jumps in the air to avoid a tackle or catch a ball.
