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...

what is the second law of thermodynamics

The second Law of thermodynamics explained

The second law of thermodynamics asserts that heat cannot move from a reservoir of lower temperature to a reservoir of higher temperature in a cyclic process. Rudolf Clausius, a physicist who first formulated the law, stated that “a cyclic transformation whose only final result is to transfer heat from a body at a given temperature to a body at a higher temperature is impossible.” The law describes the amount of work that can result from a transfer of heat

What are some applications of the second law of thermodynamics?

One notable example of the second law of thermodynamics is the heat engine model. Heat engines involve a cycle of increasing and decreasing temperatures that move a piston. The second law of thermodynamics dictates the amount of work that the changing temperatures in a heat engine can produce. The law is often applied to various types of engine

How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to biology?

The second law of thermodynamics posits that the transfer of energy involves some released as heat. This inefficient energy transfer plays a role in many biological systems. In food chains, energy escapes as heat between trophic levels, with consumers gaining only a small percentage of the energy stored in their food. On the cellular level, the energy required to maintain the complex structure of a cell increases entropy in the outside environment.


Does the second law of thermodynamics disprove evolution?

Some have contended that the second law of thermodynamics disproves evolution because the law stipulates that entropy always increases, whereas evolution into complex beings constitutes a decrease in entropy. However, evolutionists explain that the second law applies only to systems with no external energy sources. Since Earth receives energy from the Sun, the law does not seem to contradict the theory of evolution.

what is Excretion?

Your friend
Biology - Excretion Excretion Explained Introduction The biological process that involves in the removal of the harmful metabolic wastes from the human body is known as  excretion . Different species (organisms) use different processes for the excretion. E.g. many unicellular organisms remove their wastes by simple diffusion process from the body surface into the surrounding water. Excretion in Human Beings The body parts that the excretory system (of human beings) includes are − A pair of kidneys A pair of ureters A urinary bladder A urethra Kidneys are located in the abdomen (see the image given below), one on either side of the backbone. Urine that produced in the kidneys passes through the ureters into the urinary bladder where it gets stored until released through the urethra. On the other hand, plants have completely different process for excretion than those of animals. Oxygen (released in the day-time) itself can be considered as a waste product generated during...

what is friction?

Your friend
Physics - Friction Introduction Friction  is result of the irregularities on the two surfaces in contact of each other. The force of friction is dependent on the irregularities of the surface; if it is greater, then the friction will be greater and if it is smooth, then the friction will be lesser. Effectively, the friction is result of the  interlocking  of irregularities in the two surfaces. If the two surfaces (in contact) are pressed harder, then the force of friction will increase. On a frictionless surface, if an object starts moving, it would not stop ever; Without friction, it is not possible to construct a building. Friction produces heat; when a matchstick is rubbed against the rough surface, it catches fire. Substances Reducing Friction The substances that reduce friction are known as  lubricants . E.g. when oil, grease, or graphite is applied between the moving part of a machine, then it creates a thin layer; resultantly, moving surfaces do not directly r...

Explain reproduction in animals

Your friend
Reproduction in Animals Introduction Reproduction is the most essential for the continuation of a species. Reproduction ensures the continuation of similar kinds of species, generation after generation. Modes of Reproduction Following are the two modes of reproduction − Sexual reproduction reproduce Asexual reproduction Let us discuss each one separately − Sexual Reproduction In animals, males and females have different reproductive organs. The reproductive parts in animals produce gametes that fuse and form a zygote. The zygote develops into a new similar species. The type of reproduction through the fusion of male and female gametes is known as  sexual reproduction . The male gametes, produced by testes, are known as  sperms . The female gametes, produced by ovary, are known as  ova  (or eggs). In the process of reproduction, the first step is the  fusion  of a sperm and an ovum (egg). Fusion of the egg and the sperm is known as  fertilization  ...
