Soccer :)

Hey guys! Well, this is my first REAL physics blog, considering my last one was just a bunch of rambling :) Anyways, I play soccer. And it just dawned on me that soccer has almost everything to do with physics. First of all, I'm a defender. When there is a lot of pressure put on the defender, the safest thing to do is to blast the ball as far as you can to the other side of the field. To avoid a collision with other players, we usually kick the ball in the air. And guess what?! I bet that the ball has an acceleration of -9.8 m/s (squared!) when falling back onto the field! Amazingggg! :) And when we occasionally make that super nice pass to our team mate, the ball is undergoing Newton's first law. And the grass provides friction which is the reason why the ball eventually stops motion. Yayyyy. Well, considering we haven't learned lots&lots of things in physics, this was the only relation I could come up with for the time beinggg. Seee you guys later!
