Investigando os conceitos físicos presente em algumas jogadas marcantes do futebol

Abstract

The goal of this work is to spark the interest of high school students in physics through the lens of football. Several notable football plays have been selected for this purpose, including 'the goal that Pelé didn't score,' symbolic free kicks, and the Olympic goal. These plays serve as a platform to explore various physical concepts such as kinematics, dynamics, and hydrodynamics. In kinematics, the focus remains on the translational movement of the soccer ball in oblique and uniform circular motion (UCM). Dynamics covers the interaction or collision between players and the ball during a kick, utilizing the linear impulse-momentum theorem to describe the resulting speed. Hydrodynamics delves into the Bernoulli equation and the Magnus effect, aiming to explain the effects of a rotating soccer ball in a fluid medium. Ultimately, this work strives to inspire students to delve into physics by demonstrating its relevance and applicability in areas they find interesting, such as football. It aims not only to facilitate comprehension of physics concepts but also to integrate them into daily life, providing valuable and engaging knowledge.
