Pumped Ball Theory

In the world of athletic competition, variations in equipment can greatly impact performance. For example over or under pumped balls can be detrimental to performance If you do not have the correct amount of air inside of the ball you could possibly blow a game which could end up costing you millions of dollars if you are a professional, and it could just all be because of the amount of air inside of the ball you are using. To test this theory, you can use a ball for the most popular and played sport in the world, soccer, to really see if it affects the sport that much and how far the ball goes due to the amount of air inside of the ball.
Air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on earth, and you can measure how much is being
If the ball is too hard and way too pumped it means it is over the 15.6 pounds per square inch measurement. Researchers say it is not good to play with a overly pumped ball because it makes it hard to control and it bounces around the field too much and too high while playing which can affect how both teams play the game (3). Hard balls bounce more because they have less dents in them due to being flat.
Newton’s first law states that an object must stay in motion unless another object stops or puts that object out of motion. (State of Motion. N.p., n.d. Web. 9 Dec. 2014. Lesson-1/State-of-Motion>.) In this case it is gravity that is slowing down the soccer ball and it eventually stops the ball completely. Velocity is the key on how far the ball travels because the ball will start out at zero miles per hour then once it is kicked the ball will accelerate at a constant speed until gravity forces it to slow down and eventually comes to a
The correct way to kick a soccer ball as far as possible is to keep your preferred foot’s ankle locked, get your thigh back and land on your kicking foot and your other foot last, do not land on your opposite foot. Last but not least, you must kick with the laces of your shoes and not your toes. It helps a lot to wear soccer cleats because they are first of all obviously made for soccer but are designed to help you kick the ball correctly and use good technique. The reason you want to kick the ball with you laces is because you will have a ton of power compared to kicking the ball with any other part of your foot or technique. The reason you want to finish on your finishing foot is because if you kick your hardest it will help you get your maximum distance and
