Soccer and science, I believe, are synonymous. We can actually apply several principles of science to understand the basic rudiments of soccer, the world’s most popular game. So, in this article, I will attempt to give you an analysis of few, rather, very few, ways in which science is involved in the sport.
‘Bend it like Beckham,’ but how? The bending of a ball, when you kick it, follows a very simple phenomenon of air pressure. When the ball is raised after being kicked on the side, it rotates and propels forward. As a result, the air starts flowing in a direction opposing that of the ball. On one side, the direction of rotation of the ball will be opposite to the direction of flow of air, which creates a high pressure on that side. While on the other side, where the direction is similar, a low pressure will pervade. Thus, the ball bends toward the area of low pressure.
To increase the speed at which the soccer ball travels, the ball must be hit with a larger surface area of the foot and one must bend forward while kicking it. These fundamentals, coupled with a good follow-through can give a perfect shot.
So, improve your soccer, improve your scientific knowledge!
