Physics in soccer

Powerpoint

paper






Abstract:

Soccer isn’t just a game that involves moving a ball across a field, like all sports it requires physics. Soccer not only exemplifies Newton’s three laws of motion but also includes friction, projectile motion and the Magnus Effect. First I explain how Newton’s three laws of motion are involved with soccer. I then explain how friction and projectile motion play a part of the game. Lastly I explain the magnus effect and its role in scoring a goal. Knowing these things you should learn more about the science behind soccer that makes it possible as well as helping you improve in a game.

  1. Dear Ash, A great presentation here. I especially liked the history of the sport, as you taught me more than just the physics. I didn't know the length of the field, for example. The one fact I found most intriguing was that Newton's Third Law applies here! Nice!

  6. I have been playing soccer for 5 years now. I would have not known that the same force that is being applied on the ball is the same force being applied on my foot. That is mind blowing.
