47、occer Can Help Us Understand Physics Sports provide a great way to understand some concepts(概念) in physics. Physics，after all is the study of matter, motion(运动), force, and energy. And since sports liken soccer, swimmingand cycling involve bodies moving through space，they can help us understand how

48、the principles of physics work.Imagine that you're looking at a soccer hall on a grassy field. If you do nothing to the hall, it will stay motionless on the grass. If you kick the ball, it will roll along the grass before coming to rest again. Pretty simple , right?For thousands of years, though

49、，people thought that objects like this soccer ball come to rest because they have a natural tendency to stop. It took a famous physicist by the name of Sir Isaac Newton, who lived in the 1600s, to prove that this was not exactly correct. Newton suggested that objects like the soccer ball have a natu

50、ral tendency to keep moving. The only reason They stop，he believed, is because an unbalanced force acts on them. By an unbalanced farce, Newton meant the force applied to the soccer ball by its environment. When kicked, the surface of the ball travels over the grass, creating friction(摩擦力).The talle

51、r the grass，and the rougher the surface of the ball, the more friction is created. And the more friction that exists between the ball and the grass, the less it will travel after being kicked.Now, imagine that there is no grass. Instead, the ball is resting on a frozen lake. When youkick the ball on

52、 the ice, the ball will go much farther than it would have on the grass. This isbecause ice provides a lot less friction than the grass.Even so, ice does cause some friction. The ball's interaction with the frozen water crystals onthe surface of the lake eventually causes it to come to rest agai

53、n. But now imagine that instead ofice, the ball is in a place where there's no friction at all. The ball is floating in a vacuum. If youremove friction entirely, kicking the soccer ball would cause it to keep going and going at the same speed, until some force caused it to slow down and stop. To paraphrase Sir Isaac Newton, a soccer ball on the grass will stay where it is unless acted on by a force. Similarly, once you kick the ball, it will remain in motion unless acted on by force. This, in so many words, is known as Newton's First Law of Motion.7.
