Soccer Science Experiment

Air pressure can indeed affect the distance that the football will travel. The data from the experiment proved that the more air pressure, or the more inflated the ball is, then the farther the ball will travel. When one tested the lowest air pressure, our results showed that a flat ball will not travel far at all when thrown at a consistent speed. When one inflated the ball only halfway, it traveled significantly farther than a fully deflated ball. Furthermore, when one inflated the ball to the regulated air pressure of the National Football League, it travelled farther than both the fully deflated and halfway deflated ball. The statistics also supported the hypothesis for this experiment. The averages correlated with the distance that

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.

Soccer is an international sport loved by many for its beauty and emphasis on teamwork. Fans are just as involved as the players, allowing a wide array of people from all over the world to join together in celebration of the best sport in the world. I enjoy the sport because I find the skill, teamwork, and spirit it takes to play the game amazing!

Introduction: The experiment being tested is worth conducting as it can help people decide which ball to get if they want a bouncy one, either it is expensive, cheap, big or small. One fact on balls is that they are different and they bounce differently and are used differently. A netball has thinner layers than what a basketball does, and a basketball is more used for bouncing that a netball.

The outcome of my project was 106 soccer balls. Although, the grandiose outcome for me is giving these balls to people who could receive joy and benefit from them. To develop to the point of reaching an outcome, I needed to execute the plan that I created. I constructed an informational flyer and handed it out to as many people as I could. This impacted the social skills I used during my project, because this was one of the vital parts. With the flyer in hand, I had to actually "talk" to people! This forced me to communicate personally with my community and helped me further develop personal social skills. Once I got the word out, I had a collection day/drive. I had one vast contributor who gave me soccer balls, which helped me a lot. Before

When I was 8 years old my family moved to my step dad's house, and I remember watching him play soccer through the window.

Although a soccer ball may look like a sphere is not a real sphere. When you look closely at the actual ball you will see that it is polyhedron made of different shapes. A polyhedron is a three dimensional object composed of flat polygon sides typically connected at the edges (Wolfram 1999). The most common shape of modern soccer balls is called a truncated icosahedron. Icosahedron is a shape made up of 20 triangles. To create a more round object the icosahedron is truncated. Here, truncated applies to cutting off the edges which makes the icosahedron look more round ("Icosahedron," 2014). The truncated icosahedron has 32 total faces including 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons with 90 edges and 60 vertices ("Truncated

Throughout my life the phrase “physics is all around you” has been thrown around frequently. Especially in the context of my football playing years, I thought physics was simple. For example, my half-witted high school offensive line coach, who I am pretty sure did not go to college, used to scream about leverage and keeping your center of mass low to the ground. In the offseason he wanted us to bulk up because he knew newton’s second law that states force equals mass times acceleration. This did not mean that my friends and I sat in the weight room drawing free body diagrams on how to impose the greatest force with our hands on our opponents, but instead it meant that every day after school we would lift and immediately go find something to eat in order to increase our body

SACE Research Project Outcome Jack Mina Why is speed so important in the game of soccer and how can I as a soccer player increase my speed? In the game of soccer, Speed in the game of soccer is a very important attribute to have. Having the ability to get to the ball first and beat the defender is crucial. As of speed being very important in the game of soccer I look to explore as to why speed is so important in soccer and also exploring how to increase my speed through mastering the sprinting technique and increasing explosive power.

Soccer is a very active sport that includes a lot of physics. Today we will be talking about some of the various energies, forces, and motions that make up the physics in soccer. First, let’s talk about Energy in soccer, starting with Kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is movement, which there is a ton of across the soccer field, including a player heading a ball, a ball flying through the air, a goalkeeper diving to save a ball, a defender slide tackling, the list goes on and on.

A ball spinning that is moving through the air, experience a two different forces that are largely divided into categories,one is the drag and the other a lift force. The lift force is the sideways or upwards force that contributes to the Magnus effect and the force of drag which is in the direction that is opposite to the soccer ball’s path. A ball spinning with an angular velocity ω experiences a lift (or Magnus) force in the direction of ω× v with magnitude (Goff,& Carre, 2010). Drag Aerodynamics The use of trajectory analysis will help us to understand the aerodynamic coefficients of a soccer ball rather than the wind tunnel experiments.

Soccer is one of the most important sport in Europe and America. About 270 million people play soccer around the world. Soccer was first played and created in England in December 1863.

Isaac Newton was a brilliant scientist and brought many theories and laws to the sciences that we know today. The one we will be discussing today is the effects that Newton 's Second Law of Motion (Law of Acceleration F net = m*a). This law has been used over the centuries in many forms but this paper will introduce the effects of Newton’s Second Law on basketball, although his law does affect more in our world. I’m gonna tell you the 3 laws that affect basketball.
