Without friction they would slide around the pitch like a bunch of air-hockey pucks. Friction allows them to run and make cuts. It also means that the ball will slow down after being kicked so they can stay with it if they want to and continue to make small kicks to control it's direction. Friction allows the goalie to push off from the ground to launch himself/herself into the path of the ball to block goals.
Gravity causes the soccer ball to come back down when you kick it up. It also keeps the players in contact with the field, and keeps the goals from floating away.
The ball goes up and eventually goes down into the basket. It's basic physics, folks!

It keeps all the players on the field.
It allows the ball to be thrown in an arc over opposing players.

What forces are used when a football is kicked?
gravity and friction.
Why will football be hard to play on space?
because of gravity
How does gravity influence football?
Like every other object it the air, gravity is constantly pulling it to the ground. So you might say that gravity greatly influences football because it wants the ball on the ground at all times. The different ways the players combat this force is basically football itself.
What force is responsible for a football falling back to the ground?
gravity
How is gravity used in gymnastics?
Gravity is not "used". In gymnastics, gymnasts almost defy-gravity by flipping in the air but have no control of what gravity does.
How much force dose a football player use on a football?
3. The gravity, the weight and the upthrust in jumping. There hope that helped!
Why would a football travel further on the moon?
Gravity on the moon is much less than on earth (0.1654g) Therefore a football, when kicked will go much further before the week moon gravity pulls it back down to the surface.
Is the football used in arena football bigger than the football used in the nfl?
No the football used in Arena football is the same size as those used in the NFL. This has helped some make the switch from Arena Football to the NFL and vice versa.
When was the white football was first used for official games?
2003 but it is only used in arena football and used to be used in canadien football
How is science related to football?
force gravity matter! Son im bout to steel someone!
Does the size of a planet effect your throwing ability?
YES! the size of the planet does effect your throwing ability! If you get each planets' gravity number then you will notice that the smaller the planet the less gravity force/attraction it will have. If you go to Jupiter and throw a football the gravity will pull down on the football faster and make your throw much shorter than it would on Earth because Jupiter has a bigger gravity number then Earth.
What activity can be used to demonstrate objects in motion?
A simple experiment using a rolling ball on a track or ramp can be used to demonstrate objects in motion. As the ball moves down the track, its speed and direction can be observed. This activity can help illustrate concepts such as acceleration, velocity, and the effect of gravity on objects in motion.
