When a soccer player kicks a ball, the forces involved are initially unbalanced. The player exerts a force on the ball, causing it to accelerate. However, once the ball is in motion, the forces become balanced as the force of the player's kick is equal and opposite to the force of air resistance and friction acting on the ball. This balanced state allows the ball to maintain a constant velocity until acted upon by another force.
