A metal ball sits motionless on a flat surface. Which of the following actions would cause the ball to start moving according to Newton's First and Second Laws ($F_{\mathrm{net}}=ma$)?

According to Newton's Second Law, which relates force, mass, and acceleration ($F=ma$), is walking likely to be an effective way to build significant muscle mass?

According to Newton's First Law, if the net force on an object is $0$, what will happen to the object's motion?

Which type of motion is most likely to involve a shaft that can easily grip hair and clothing, potentially causing injury if not handled properly?
