I thought it would be interesting to learn about some of the physics involved in something that I do almost everyday and has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. My poster depicts the physics involved in kicking‚ the ball rolling across the field‚ and bending the ball. Kicking a soccer ball involves transferring

    In this scene‚ the soccer ball was kicked by a player with a tremendous force. The Lightning hand Goalie (Forth Brother) stops the ball‚ but fly back because of the reaction force.This scene is an example of bad physics because it is unrealistic that a human can actually take off/fly after been hit by a soccer ball. Let us assume the following:-A soccer ball is usually weight 15 pounds = 0.4kg in Fifa games -We can’t simply calculate the velocity of the ball that the guy kicked in the movie. So

    The physics concepts that were illustrated in our egg drop project were momentum and energy. In the project‚ we saw how momentum increases as a normal egg without anything to slow it down would crack. That was because the longer that the egg fell‚ the more momentum the egg gains. We also saw that by adding resistance during the fall‚ such as a plastic bag “parachute”‚ would slow down the egg enough so that it would not crack when it reached impact with the ground. The other concept that was discussed

    Misconceptions of Physics One of the misconceptions in physics is about Newtons laws. It says that friction can’t act in the direction of motion. This is wrong because friction can act in the same direction as motion simply because a car on a road is traveling in one direction. The friction on the tires causes it to slow down over a distance along with some air resistance. This proves that friction can act in the same direction as motion A misconception in physics is that the moon is not in
