Lab Report Physics

In football the force of impact can be dangerous. Helmets are constructed to protect the brains of the players. Without this protection the player will receive major damage from the impact of the force. In this lab, students will construct a device that will protect an egg from the impact force from the drop. The egg acts as a substitute for the brain and the device is the “helmet” for the egg. The independent variable of this experiment is the trials; the dependent variables of this experiment are time and velocity. By using the laws of physics, students will construct an efficient device that will protect the egg from the harsh impact of force.

As the kicker steps forward and swings his/her leg back and then forward, contact with the football is made. The kicker kicks the football with the intention of the ball making it through the goal posts, which would result in either one (for an extra point) or three points (for a field goal). The kick is another example of a force. A great force is exerted on the football, causing it to accelerate and travel a distance (Newton’s first law of motion). Also, the football exerts the same force back on the kicker’s foot (Newton’s third law of motion). The kicker tries to kick the football about one-third of the way up the football (towards the bottom) so that the ball will travel high enough to get over the defense and high enough to maximize the distance. When the kicker hits the football, it is another example of an inelastic collision in which some of the energy is transformed into sound. The flight of the football can be described as projectile motion.

The height of your kick depends on how high up the ball you hit. For example, if you kick 2/3 the up the ball, then the ball won’t get much height, leading to a blocked field goal. But, if you kick the ball 1/3 way up then the ball will get height and distance. Leading to a scoring field goal.

This soccer science fair project serves to acquaint students with basic information on how the amount of air in a soccer ball can affect the distance it travels when kicked with a consistent force. The greater the air pressure in the ball, the farther it will travel when a force is applied. In the process of conducting the research, the student will learn that atmospheric pressure may also affect how far the ball will travel. The student will learn about the relationship between air pressure and friction: the lower the friction, the farther the ball will go. The student will learn about concepts like air pressure, gravitational force, compression and expansion of air molecules, potential energy and kinetic energy. This science fair experiment

The game that America has come to know and love may have more behind it than everyday viewers and fans realize. Physics fuels every aspect of the game of football and is evident in the collisions that take place on every play. Watching a game of football can be a great learning tool to anyone interested in better understanding the laws of physics. Many great examples are provided on every snap. Mass, force, momentum, velocity and torque all play significant roles in the tackling action performed by players and the better you understand these terms the better you can begin to understand the game itself.

The physics involved in soccer includes friction, torque, center of gravity, Magnus Effect and Newton’s three laws of motion. The physics of soccer comes from three main parts of physics which is velocity, acceleration, and displacement. Velocity is shown in soccer with the speed and direction of the soccer ball when it is hit or kicked. Acceleration is shown in soccer when the ball changes velocity when it is hit or kicked. Displacement is the change in position of the soccer ball.

Every football team has a quarterback, but each teams quarterback may hold different responsibilities. The main objective for most every QB is to lead their team down the field to the end zone whether through their arm or legs, with some of the best being good at both passing and rushing. There are many moving parts that go into throwing a football and projection of the football as to the exact point that you want the ball caught. Thus what my science fair project will be over, the physics and movement behind throwing a football.

The kicker on a football team has a very difficult and critical job during a football game for his team. When the team needs points on the scoreboard or an extra point after a touchdown, it is the kicker’s job to make that happen. Kicking may not seem like a tuff or important job, but good kickers are highly sought after. For a kicker to be able to make the kick when he is most needed, there are three steps that he must remember and execute the kick correctly. The kicker must have a good approach to the ball, have a strong and steady swing, and have a good follow through.

The relationship is I have to keep moving the ball so I have to keep measuring the ball. That is how they are related. Now I will discuss my experimental procedure. My procedure was this. First I needed to measure out my angles from the penalty dot. Then I needed to kick the balls into the goal and record my data out of five. Some of the things that may have affected my results were that it had snowed and I had to shovel part of the field, and it may have made my tired. Aklso that it was really cold and I may have been off my game because of

The task that will be performed in the lab is a football snap toward a target. The subject will face way from the target, place their feet about shoulder length apart, place the ball between their feet, bend over and snap the ball through their legs to hit the target. For the experiment, the target is a wall. The wall is marked in increments of 20cm; a center space with five spaces above and below.

You the ball have been snapped and the holder has placed you down and the kicker is about to make contact. Contact has been made and now you are going through a series of 5 loops. Just like the football being kicked and flying end over end. During this time you will feel weightlessness as hopefully you will split the uprights for a good field goal. At the end of the field goal you will experience friction to help slow you down and get you safely back to the locker room. Now that you are back to the locker room get out and celebrate your victory. But do not celebrate long because you will want to play again. On this ride a football is punted every 20 seconds with 6 players each. This means that we have over a 1000 riders every hour. With an average speed of 60mph and top speeds of 90mph, you will travel 2 miles during your 2 minute drill. This is football like you have never experienced, it is not touch, tackle, or flag because this time you are the ball in this game and not a player. So come and ride the PP&K to find out what the ball goes through during the

Tre’Sure Hall Mr.Shelton Physics 1A Kick Off Return Kicking a football is similar to Projectile Motion in many ways. However, to the perfect projectile wind, air resistance, and momentum plays an important role. Without these factors the only force acting towards the football would be gravity, but will actually be much simpler.

There are some inherent flaws in this methodology. The first is that outside factors like elevation and game time temperature greatly affect the movement of pitch. It also does not correct for the effect of air drag on the pitch meaning that without these factors the curve ball would not curve. Curve balls are a big thing in baseball but are also use a lot in the sport of football or as americans call it “soccer”. In football one of the most beautiful things to see is the ball curve in to the back of the net.

Lastly, the launch angle also has a great effect on the distance traveled. If projected at 90° the ball would only be thrown vertically upwards and back down to the person. There would be no horizontal change in position but a great maximum height. The greatest horizontal distance is reached between 40° and 50°. For this reason the launch angle affects the

Football uses a lot of mathematics, just from watching a game I can realize which are the strategies each team uses and the mathematical models they create to calculate at which point they need to be so they can score a touchdown, the time that passes, how they keep track of the score, and how many yards they are away from scoring a touchdown, to know all that information you need to use the math’s. For starters, the football field is a rectangular shape that is divided into several yards, each of these yards measuring a certain amount, that helps keep track of each team´s score and helps them plan their next move, each team has its own strategies and its own calculations they make so they can know and visualize how far away they are from scoring or from which point they need to pass the ball or catch the ball so they can score. That
