How does newton's third law apply to soccer?

Answer 1

Newton's first law states: an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

When a soccer ball is sitting on the grass (not moving) it is at rest. It will continue to stay at rest unless a player kicks the ball.

When the soccer ball is rolling on the grass, it will continue to roll unless another player stops the ball with his/her foot. If the ball is left to keep rolling, then friction (the unbalanced force) will eventually make the ball stop moving.

Answer 2

Simple question, The energy transfered from the foot to the ball lasts for some time making the ball travel upwards.. When the energy becomes less than the gravitational force, the earth pulls the ball down and hence the ball lands and rolls.....

Answer 3

No. kicking a soccer ball is not a newtons first law because newtons first law says that:

"Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by an external source impressed upon it."

It means that every body remains in its state of rest or in a state of uniform unless a force is applied to remove it.

For example, a glass remains on a table unless a force is applied to it.

The kicking a soccer ball is an example of newtons third law. Because when we kick the ball it moves in the forward direction while we moves backward direction. The forward motion of ball is "action" and the backward motion of our body is "reaction" that satisfies newtons third law of motion which says:

"Action and reaction are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction."

Answer 4

When one object exerts force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite dirrection so kicking it is the action and the ball moving away is the reaction.

Answer 5

When a player kicks the ball, the ball will move forward and the player's foot will move backward. Many don't realize this because most people don't look for it

Answer 6

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Answer 7

Newton's third law effects soccer because when you head the ball the ball exerts the same amount of force on your head as your head does the ball.

Answer 8

It hurts when you're kicked in the balls.
