O estado da questão sobre a física aplicada ao futebol: o efeito Magnus

Abstract

The teaching of Physics nowadays faces great challenges, mainly with regard to low motivation and poor student performance. Although this science explains a large number of natural phenomena perceptible by man in his daily life, if it is studied only based on abstraction and materialization, it ends up not arousing the interest of students. One of the ways to do this in physics teaching is to take situations that occur in sports practices as real examples that can be understood with the help of scientific concepts. Football is seen as the most popular sport in the world, with obvious practical applications and great potential, and can give a special motivation to learn many physics topics. Therefore, the present work will show, through a literature review, the productions and discussions of the Brazilian scientific community about the state in question of physics applied to soccer: the Magnus effect, as a subsidy of the research design process and at the same time will enable to the student/researcher skills to identify and define their references and categories, which become indispensable in the process of analyzing information and theoretical foundation.
