Abstract: The game of soccer is a very dynamic sport because it entails complex principles of physics. When a ball is kicked its trajectory is always dependent on the point of contact between the foot and ball, and the speed at which the ball is rotating. When the ball is hit with the side of the foot causing the ball to spin, the ball's trajectory will curve to a certain degree. If the ball is hit powerfuly directly in the middle with the top of the foot the ball will have no spin. In this occurrence the different seems in the ball may cause the ball to swerve from side to side in a path the is virtually unpredictable. These rare techniques in soccer are oftenly used by some of the best professionals in soccer such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. They are used to throw goalkeepers off balance when attempting to shoot on goal.

This is very interesting. I never realized the amount of physics that goes into kicking a soccer ball. Your concept map really helped in understanding these concepts. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat Project Matt!
ReplyDeleteI now have a better understanding on how players curve the ball into the goal. Thank you for sharing this information, great job!
