“Modeling the ideal Penalty Kick: A Quadratic approach

to projectile motion”
Football is a sport admired by globally for enthusiasm and tactics, football has

developed as players seek new methods to improve their skill. The penalty kick is a

very important feature of football and will always be a part of the game as it plays

a crucial role in impacting the game’s score. Although there are several factors that

influence if a penalty is a goal or not. This study seeks to use mathematical

concepts to analyze the trajectory of a penalty.

The value of perfecting a penalty kick cannot be

understated. Professional players are known for

their skill in taking a penalty with a well-placed

penalty kick can easily decide the outcome of a

game. Moreover, its almost a impossible for a

goalkeeper to save a penalty that has great ball speed and power behind the kick. In

addition, there are many factors affecting the outcome of a penalty which may

include ball spin, speed or direction which can have a significant impact on the

result . As a result, knowing the fundamental mechanics of a penalty kick is critical

for players looking to enhance their ability and increase their consistency.
As a die-hard football fan, my interest in the game goes past simply enjoying it to a

want to understand its complexity on a deeper, mathematical level. After

experiencing the joy of scoring a well-aimed penalty and the frustration of a lost

access, I have become intrigued by the many aspects that determine a penalty

kick's success. The penalty kick is an exciting subject of study because it captures

the spirit of football with its unique combination of accuracy, power, and strategy.

Main Aim: The overall objective of this project is to come out with the equation

involving quadratics that would model the trajectory of a ball during the penalty

shootouts. This paper tends to find the best trajectory for penalty kick by observing

variables like initial velocity of the ball, angle of projection, and gravitational

forces. Air drag, however, is one of the critical ingredients of real situations;

however, as a means of simplifying this model, this research will further abstract
away the air resistance so that it emulates the smoothened dynamics of a penalty

kick. The mathematical correlations between these factors can be understood to

help football players and coaches in improving their penalty kick performance. The

purpose of the study is to provide theoretical coverage for practical sessions in

training, with the ultimate aim of assisting players to develop more successful and

consistent penalty kicks.
