Answer:
The branch of physics that is most relevant to football is mechanics, the study of motion and its causes.
Explanation:
When the ball leaves the punter's foot, it is moving with a given velocity (speed plus angle of direction) depending upon the force with which he kicks the ball. The ball moves in two directions, horizontally and vertically. Because the ball was launched at an angle, the velocity is divided into two pieces: a horizontal component and a vertical component.
If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration. It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.
And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is. That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.
