Re: The Physics of a Kick
The simplest model I know is the ballistics model of parabolic flight. For a non-spiining ball, this has been pretty accurate (especially to the apex) for the foam poof balls, and for these soccer balls. It was quite inaccurate for the Moon-rocks as they had a ton more internal friction and much higher drag.
For ballasitics, you only neead a couple pieces of information. Mass of the soccer-ball (410-450g) Speed, Angle, distance, Apex (maximum). ******************************* I did the math, but cut it out as I am not sure if the Original Poster wants the Math or not. If there is demand, I will post an example. |
