The Science of Football

Introduction to Science of Football

• One reason I chose this sport was because it uses both Kinetic & Potential energies. The second reason I picked this sport was because its my favorite sport…

Potential Energy• Potential energy is when you have the power to control what you do before you do it. Like in football when they are about to snap the ball they have the control to throw it or run it…

Kinetic Energy• Kinetic energy is when you already made the move and cant take it back.Like in football when they are running the ball you cant just give it back you have to automatically run…

Digestive System• The digestive system digest food to give the body energy to play or to do anything…as in football if you are exhausted then you wont have the energy to play at all…

Respiratory System• The respiratory system helps you breathe better with clear air and removes the carbon dioxide…Like in football if you cant breathe correctly then you cant play as good as you can…

Circulatory System• The circulatory system helps the heart pump blood into the body…In football if your heart isn’t good then you probably get tired quick and wont play as much

Excretory System• The Excretory system helps the body drop water out their bodies and help keep the system running…In football the players need to sweat and cool off there bodies with the excretory system

Muscular System• The muscular system helps the body move…In football you need strong muscles to throw the ball far….

Electric Energy• Electric Energy is electric charge in close circuits…In football electric energy is use for scoreboards to keep track of who is winning

Energy Transformation• It affects their body by giving them the strength to play better. It can change to heat energy by when running they start to sweat to keep the blood flowing…

Conserving Energy• A reasons for football players conserve energy…

• 1) To have more energy to play later on in the game…

Newton’s 1st Law of Motion

• The first law is an object will stay at rest or continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. It supports it in football with the force of tackling…

Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion

• Newton’s second law of motion is The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion

• The 3rd law is whatever has a action will have a reaction…This could probably help with turnovers I guess…

Machines• One simple machine is the scoreboard… it could help the players keep track of the score that they have…A second machine is the bikes in the gym that makes them burn their calories

Conclusion• Science and Football relate in many ways as in the use of force when tackling…the body that they use to move around and play…and the energy they use to keep in shape…
