Best Answer

Trajectories/vector analysis-Describes the parabolic motion of the football after it has been thrown or kicked. Fluid Dynamics/Aerodynamics-Describes the flight of the football based on its texture and how it was thrown. Newtanian Physics- -Conservation of momentum and Conservation of Energy-when two football players collide, how will their velocities change based on each players weight and how fast they were going. -F=ma (force=mass*acceleration)-How much force a football player can delver -E=MV2/2 (energy=mass*velocity2/2)=How much Kenetic energy the football player has based on his mass and velocity

Soccer is a hugely dynamic game. The physics is overwhelming. Forces are applied and mass is moved. The physics of the ball alone would fill a research paper. It's all about Newton and his laws of motion and the basic extensions of them.
It uses Isaac Newtons second law: the harder you hit something, the faster it goes. Hence, kicking a ball.

Also, the Magnus Effect takes place when spinning a ball. The direction and speed of the spin will determine how much the ball curves during flight.

For American football, you use kinetic energy when you run with the ball or move around the field. A lineman has potential energy before the snap. The ball has energy conversions through the air as the QB passes to a WR or a TE. When energy conversions happen, thermal energy is always released. These are the basics. At higher grades, if you take physics, you learn about the math and laws behind the forces around you, like football.

neutioplioran force, munich force, detrene force, and friction all help the player run and the ball lift when kicked

In physics you frequently have to calculate power ratios, speeds and impacts etc . Within the game there are many areas that provide oppostunity to calculate newtons laws
