Study on how a soccer ball curves
MIT news decided to make a study on how a soccer ball can curve. The experiment that MIT news did revolved around the question of "How does a soccer ball swerve?" After the 2010 world cup, researchers figured out that the jabulani, the ball used for that tournament, had a smoother surface to it, thus making the curve of the ball harder to control. Since scientists knew about this information, they can up with a hypothesis, "If the soccer ball has a rough texture, then the soccer ball will have more control over the curve."
