Lesson 13 Assessment: Physics of kicking a soccer ball.Part I: Phases when kicking a soccer ballHere are a few parts of the body that are involved in kicking a soccer ball. For each phase (preparation, execution, and follow-through), identify at least one action for each part of the body listed below.PreparationExecutionFollow-throughUpper bodyEyesHipsShoulders and armsChestLower bodyAnkleFootLegsPart II: SimulationIn this assessment we will simulate the action of three factors that may affect a player’s performance when kicking the ball:Stance (i.e., distance between the feet).Ankle flexibility.Hip rotation.In this simulation, you have aim for the highlighted area in the net. To do this, configure the player’s position, and then kick the ball. You might need to practise this a few times to get it right. Try to score at least five times. Pay attention to how each variable affects the player’s performance.What happens when the player’s stance is too wide (i.e., their feet are too far apart)?Where should you kick the ball to cause it to “bend” as it travels through the air?Which elements affect the height of the ball?How does the rotation of the hips and legs affect the kick? Part III: Principles of motionBased on the simulation, explain how the principles of motion apply to the player or the ball:Linear motionPlayer/ballPrinciple 1: StabilityPrinciple 2: Maximum forcePrinciple 3: Maximum velocityPrinciple 4: MomentumPrinciple 5: Direction of application of forceAngular motionPrinciple 6: Angular motionPrinciple 7: Conservation of angular momentumPart IV: ResearchDo some research on the Internet about the common problems that players encounter when kicking a ball. Afterwards, solve the following scenarios:An exceptionally speedy soccer player is trying to score a goal, but she keeps kicking the ball too high. What does she have to improve in order to kick the ball closer to the target?The opposing team’s defence is blocking the ball’s path. The only option is to have the player manoeuver the ball in such a way that it bypasses both the defence and the goal keeper. The top player on your team is the ideal person to do this trick, but he is having some trouble making the shot. What does he have to do to improve his shot? A player runs at full speed and kicks the ball with as much force as she can. However, the ball is still not fast enough. You checked, and she is making contact with the ball in the right spot. What do you think is going wrong here? How can she increase the speed of the ball?Experts say that the top corners of the net are the hardest ones for a goalkeeper to cover. You want to make sure that your team knows how to aim the ball in these areas. What would you advise them to do? ................
