Physics of soccer

Physics is everywhere in soccer. Whether its kicking the ball, saving the ball or as Theo would like to do, running into people, you can find it while playing soccer. You can find the average speed of the ball if you know the distance the ball travelled and the time it took the ball to travel that distance. Also, Newtons 1st law says that "an object stays at rest until acted upon an external force" so in soccer the object would be a ball and the force would be someones foot kicking the ball. This is why when you kick the ball, it can go a short distance or a long distance depending on the amount of force you put on the ball. FInally, the transfer of energy is important in this because the energy your leg creates when you swing it back is tranferred into the ball which makes it go.
