Projectile Motion

from here
When a soccer ball is kicked in the air, it
becomes a projectile. Its determined path is a perfect
parabola, but in the soccer, wind factors comes in to play
thus making the game more difficult.
Frictionfrom here
This is what causes the ball to stop moving when it is kicked
on the grass.
Friction occurs because of the electromagnetic forces between
charged particles of the grass and the skin of the soccer ball
rubbing against each other which constitute the surfaces in
contact. Friction turns kinetic energy into heat.
Drag
from here
Drag occurs when a ball kicked moving through the air. As
the ball is pushing through the air, the air pushes back
thus slowing it down. A way to decrease drag is by kicking
the ball with a spin. Once the ball spins, the magnus affect
takes place. The magnus affect decreases air resistance
drastically.
