Vedanshi7 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hey guys! I am doing my extended essay in physics, and I want to do it on how the speed of a soccer ball affect its projectile motion for this experiment I will have to keep a constant speed while I kick the soccer ball. How do I keep a constant speed? Also, does doing experiments on simulation affect our grades? It would be great if you could help me out. Thanks in advance. P.S. please reply ASAP!

kw0573 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I think it's a good topic if you are focusing on effects of friction in translational and rotational motions. For example football curve balls or certain trick shots. You need to be creative on how you can collect data. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kw0573 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I was thinking maybe you can use secondary data. The details of the experiment you should figure out on your own. Also you can consider tennis ball shooter, but friction in tennis is much less prominent. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look at that, where could I take secondary data from? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
