Physics In Soccer
Abstract
Soccer is easily the most watched and played sport all around the world. Although most people play the sport for fun, what they fail to realize is the amount of science that goes into playing the beautiful game. At a young age most kids are taught to hit the ball with power, yet they don't understand why it is they do it, and its scientific effects. The same goes for one someone kicks a soccer ball to curve it. Whether you're on a field, in the gym, or on the streets there is science in soccer everywhere. Whether it be Newton's Laws of Motion, Momentum, The Magnus Effect, Friction, or Projectile Motion science affects the way a ball is shot, passed, or dribbled. To inform you of the science in Soccer, in my research paper and slides you'll see each aspect of science evaluated. All information for this project that was used can be found in the "Works Cited" page in my research paper or slides.
Nice post, Carlos! I really like how you explained soccer techniques using the physics principles we learned this year. I can't wait to see the rest of your presentation!
ReplyDeleteI like how you incorporated things you know about soccer into the physics concepts we learned this year. It was cool to see something that is a common sport explained in a way that is more educational. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI love how you connected fútbol to physics CARLOS. The information is accurate and interesting. I love how you incorporated something you have play with your familia into our AP Physics classroom.
ReplyDeleteYo soy jesmond. Nice project Carlos. Futbol is sure a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteVery good presentation! I learned a lot about physics and soccer, especially through the use of various soccer techniques. You should be very proud of your work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome presentation, I use to play soccer and your presentation has really been revealing as to how many physics laws I was manipulating to score. The friction of the ball in the grass is very overlooked!
