How does Messi keep the ball close to himself

Your friend
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...

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.

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 an object move from rest.

    • A force may change the speed of a moving object.

    • A force may change the direction of a moving object.

    • A force may change the shape of an object.

  • The force caused by the action of muscles is known as the muscular force.

  • Some force, decreases the speed of a moving object, is known as ‘friction.’ E.g. moving wheel on road; once the source of force stops working, then wheel stops because of friction.

  • The force applied by a charged body on another charged or uncharged body is known as ‘electrostatic force.’

  • Objects or things that fall towards the earth, as earth pulls it towards itself; this force is known as the force of gravity or gravity.

  • The force of gravity is applicable on all objects. In fact, every object in this universe, irrespective of its size and shape, exerts some force on every other object. It happens only because of the ‘gravitational force.’

Pressure

  • The force, applied on a unit area of a surface is known as pressure (Pressure = force/area on which it acts).

  • If the area is smaller, then the pressure on a surface would be greater; e.g. this is the reason that the area of one end of a nail is pointed (to exert sufficient pressure) and other end is bigger (as shown in the image given below).

Pressure

  • This envelop of air is known as the atmosphere that extends up to many kilometers above the surface of the earth.

  • The pressure exerted by the air is known as atmospheric pressure.

  • The pressure inside our bodies is exactly equal to the atmospheric pressure and annuls the pressure acting from outside liquids and gases also exert pressure on the walls of their respective containers.

what are natural resources?

Your friend
Natural Resources Introduction The resources, available on the Earth and the energy being received from the Sun, are essential to meet the basic necessities of all life-forms on the Earth. The  biotic  component incorporates all living of the biosphere. human sperm cells The abiotic component incorporates the air, the water, and the soil of the biosphere. Biogeochemical Cycles Biogeochemical cycles explain a constant interaction between the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere. Biogeochemical cycles are a dynamic phenomenon that helps to maintain the stability in the ecosystem. The significant biogeochemical cycles are − Water Cycle Carbon Cycle Nitrogen Cycle Oxygen Cycle Let’s discuss each of them in brief − Water Cycle The whole process, starting from the water evaporation, rainfall to flowing back into the sea via rivers, is known as the  water-cycle . water forming a circle As shown in the image given above, water cycle is a complex phenomenon.

why do we fall sick?

Your friend
Biology - Why do We Fall Ill Introduction Health means a state of mental, physical, and social well-being. The health of an organism largely depends on his/her surroundings or the environment. a sick man Major causes of poor health are - the garbage, which is thrown in an open area nearby residence or streets, or/and the open drain water lying stagnant around the residence area. The public cleanliness is the key of good health. Some diseases, last only for a short period of time, are known as  acute diseases . E.g. cold, fever, etc. The diseases that last for a long period of time, even as much as a lifetime, are known as  chronic diseases . E.g. asthma, osteoporosis, etc. Chronic diseases, normally, have very severe long-term effects on people’s health as compared to the acute diseases. Infectious Diseases When microbes are the immediate causes of a disease, it is known as  infectious diseases . Some of the major agents of infectious diseases are viruses, bacteria, fungi...
