CRADLING - centripetal force acts on the ball as it is cradled, keeping the ball in the net as the stick is rotated
SHOOTING - running shots are more difficult due to the conversion of linear momentum
THE DRAW - equal force needs to be applied by both players in order to make the ball go up
OTHER FACTS
NEWTONS 1st LAW OF MOTION -
the ball will continue its motion until it is acted upon by an external force - either gravity or another persons' stick
- the ball runs into fluid friction when flying through the air
- rolling friction happens when the ball is rolling on the ground
- sliding friction is when the ball is scooped up from the ground
- projectile motion happens when a person releases the ball from their stick to try to score
NEWTONS 2nd LAW OF MOTION -
force=mass x acceleration
acceleration applied to the ball during the throw determines the force of the pass because the mass remains constant
NEWTONS 3rd LAW OF MOTION -
- the lacrosse player shooting is unbalanced because gravity, air resistance, and the force pushes them forward
- the

the stretch of the net and momentum of the ball within the net counteracts the force applied by the player swinging the stick
