Hi Everyone,
Here is my discussion about different games with forces.

AFL: The forces are gravity, this makes all the players stay on the ground and so the ball comes back to the ground. There is friction on the player’s feet when they kick the ball and run. There are pulls when the players pull the ball to them to take a mark. There are pushes when the ruck men tries to push the ball to the players. There are also pushes when players push people over to tackle them.

Soccer: The forces in soccer are gravity so the players stay on the ground while they are playing and so the ball comes back to the ground when it is kicked. There are pulls when the players pull the ball back to them so the other team can’t get the ball. There are pushes when players kick the ball. There is also friction on the player’s feet when they run and stop.

Cricket: The forces in cricket are gravity so the players stay on the ground and so the ball comes back to the ground when it is thrown and hit in the air. There is friction on the batters gloves when they hit the ball and there is also friction on the player’s shoes when they are running around. There are pulls when the batters pull their bat back to hit the ball. The fielders pull their arms back before they throw the ball. There are pushes when the batters push the ball away with the bat, and also the bowler pushes the ball out of his hand towards the batter.
