PRESENTATION OUTLINE
LAW #1:
An object in motion will stay in motion until an outside force acts upon it.
SOCCER
In the game of soccer, when kicked, the ball is not going to stop until friction, someone or something, stops it.
This soccer ball would not have stopped unless that net would have caught it. Like wise, if the goalie were to catch it, the friction of the gloves would have stopped it.
This goes to say that when the soccer ball is not moving, it will stay that way until someone moves it.
In this photograph, the soccer ball is hitting the net. The friction of the net is what is going to stop the ball from going any further, then when the ball hits the ground it will stop entirely.
In Basketball, when the ball leaves the hands after a shot, the ball is going to stay moving. The friction of the net is what slows down the ball and then stops after a few bounces.
In this photo, after the ball leaves his hands for the jump shot, it is going to continue moving until an outside force like gravity, the back board, or the net starts slowing the ball.
It is similar to the idea that if he threw a skip pass across the court instead, the ball is going to catch air, and when it begins to fall his team mate catches it.
