Acceleration The acceleration of the ball will equal to the force divided by the mass of the ball once it leaves your foot.
Sliding Friction Sliding friction occurs when you kick the ball and when it is moving it is at a constant speed unless a force is acted upon as friction and slows it down. The friction is caused by the grass below the ball when rolling.
Fluid Friction If the ball is wet, damp and rainy when kicked your foot could slide around when kicking and dribbling the ball on a wet, slippery field.
Weight The size of the ball (weight) depends on how far the ball goes when the same force is applied.
Mass The air in the ball has mass and volume in the air molecules making the ball go far when you kick it because of the air pressure being tightly together just like a basketball.
