Soccer and Physics

http://youtu.be/xuHT-EpI39Y

So we all know physics takes part in every aspect of our lives including sports!. In the game of soccer physics can be seen whenever a player kicks the ball. In the capacity of forces we can see the applied force - the kick of the player - being applied to the ball and then as the ball passes the goalie and hits the net the ball's momentum is transferred over a greater period of time therefore being caught by the net instead of popping/slamming back out of the goal. Think about the egg experiment that we went over in class!
