Detailed Solution

Hitting a stationary football and ringing a bell are both examples of force causing motion in a stationary body.
A force is defined as a push or a pull, which either causes or ceases motion in an object. When we hit a stationary football, it moves to some extent and stops. The force applied by our leg is causing the motion of the football. When we apply the force on the switch of the electric bell, it rings. When force is applied to a stationary object, it tends to move in the direction of the external force. Applying force to a stationary tennis ball while hitting it with a bat, for example, will cause it to move in the direction of the bat's delivered force.
