When you kick a football what action and reaction forces are involved Which force if any is greater?

The action (foot to ball) and reaction (ball to foot) forces are equal and opposite. The ball gains momentum and the foot loses momentum. The collision is elastic and the foot has more mass than the football, so the football departs with a velocity greater than the initial velocity of the foot.


How can the net force on a ball be zero when you kick it?

When you kick a ball, the force you apply forward is balanced by the equal and opposite force from the ball pushing back on your foot. This results in a net force of zero on the ball at that moment, causing it to move forward.
