Rickie is playing with two soccer balls. He kicks the red ball and it hits the blue ball that was a rest. After they hit, the blue ball rolls away from him and the red ball rolls back toward him. Why does the red ball roll back toward Rickie?

Question 9 options:

Forces act in pairs, so when the red ball pushes the blue ball forward, the the blue ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the red ball.

The wind could also add a force to the ball and create different directions for them to roll.

Forces act in pairs, so when the blue ball pushes the red ball forward, the red ball exerts an unequal and opposite force on the blue ball.

It is random that the red ball rolls back to Rickie and blue ball rolls away.

This is a perfect example of newtons 3rd law "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction"when the red ball hits the blue ball it pushes into the ball and the ball sinks in to a point to absorb the energy and then the blue ball releases some of the energy back to the red ball pushing it away and the inertia makes the blue ball move away.

I hope this helps and can i get brainliest my dude :D thx
