How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

The science of how Messi keeps the ball close to himself photo credit: ZaleDesigns Messi is a magician with the ball at his feet. He's in my opinion the best player in the sense that he can control the ball so well, runs so fast with the ball & changes the direction at full speed like it's a walk in the park. For starters he started playing very early (at 3) which is crucial if you want to be a good player. In that aspect, he's God gifted as he had dribble skills which is genetic in my opinion. Height He is short which means a low center of gravity so it's difficult to push him off the ball. That's why we see that anyone rarely can topple him down, instead players much larger than him lose possession to him. So his short height suits his style of play & is a blessing in disguise. Change of pace Messi changes his pace really well. He starts slow and runs directly at the defender which means the defender has to stop & focus on him. When he reac...

23. The hierarchy of organic evolution in plant: Schizophyta, thalophyta, bryophyta, Pteridophyta and Spermatophyta.
24. Gestation is period of time which a zygote develop to the time of birth.

25. Binary fission is a mode of reproduction which is common to both paramecium and amoeba.
26. The pancreas secretes hormone which controls excess sugar in the blood.

27. Plasmodium needs supporting cellular machinery to survive as it is not a free-living organism.
28. In a food chain on land, green plant is the producer.

why is force, what is pressure?

 Force and Pressure Introduction When an object is either pushed or a pulled is known as a force. Motion, generated in an object, is because of an action of a force. The applied force makes the table move in a given direction. The strength of a force is commonly expressed by the magnitude. Force also has direction; likewise, if the magnitude or direction changes, it directly affects the force. If the force is applied in the direction opposite to the direction of motion, then it results in a decrease in the speed of the object. If an object is in motion, then external force may change in the state or direction of motion of that object. The state of motion of an object is explained by its speed and the direction of motion. The state of  ‘rest’  of an object is considered to be the zero speed, as − An object cannot move by itself. An object cannot change its speed by itself. An object cannot change its direction by itself. An object cannot change by itself. A force may make ...

explain the element zinc?

Chemistry - Zinc Introduction In the periodic table, zinc is the first element of group 12. The symbol of zinc is  ‘Zn’  and the atomic number is  ‘30.’ In terms of availability, zinc is the 24 th  most abundant element found in the Earth's crust and it has five stable isotopes. The most common zinc ore is sphalerite (zinc blende), which is a zinc sulfide mineral. Andreas Sigismund Marggraf, the German chemist, first discovered the pure metallic zinc in 1746. Interestingly, alchemists burned zinc in the air and form something different thing and they named that  "philosopher's wool"  or " white snow ." Salient Features of Zinc Zinc’s color is bluish-white and it is lustrous and diamagnetic metal. Zinc metal is normally hard and brittle; however, at when the temperature increases from 100 0 C, it becomes malleable. When temperature increases 210 0 C, then the zinc metal again becomes brittle and can be pulverized easily by beating. Zinc is a conductor of ele...

what is gravity

Physics - Gravitation Introduction All celestial bodies those found in the universe attract each other and the force of attraction among these bodies is called as the  gravitational force . Universal Law of Gravitation Every object in the universe has the property to attract every other object with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (see the image given below). F  = force of attraction between two the objects ‘A’ & ‘B’ M  = mass of ‘A’ m  = mass of ‘B’ d 2  = the square of the distance between ‘A’ & ‘B’ G  = is the constant of proportionality and is known as the universal gravitation constant. The SI unit of G is  N m 2  kg –2 . It is obtained by substituting the units of force, distance and mass (as given in the following equation − $$G = \frac{Fd^2}{M \times m}$$ Henry Cavendish had calculated the value of  ‘G’  as  6.6...
