How would the forces from a header with such a light soccer ball cause a concussion?
They can't, it isn't enough force
The player must have a soft spot on their skull
The force is dependent on mass and speed
The ball is more dense than the air it is traveling through

There are three types of collisions that tend to happen frequently in soccer: (a) headers, (b) collisions between players’ heads, and (c) a player’s head hitting the ground.
How would the amount of force on the head compare to the amount of force on the object it collides with in each system A, B, and C?
(Hint: This is NOT comparing the forces between systems, it is comparing the force on the 2 objects within the systems)
In every collision, the peak force on the head would be the same as the peak force on the other object in the collision.
In some, but not all collisions, the peak force on the head would be the same as the peak force on the other object in the collision.
In every collision, the peak force on the head would be different than the peak force on the other object in the collision.

Sports scientists concluded that concussions result from headers, a running player colliding with another running player, and a running player hitting the ground. So far in this unit, we have looked at collisions and how much kinetic energy the objects in the system have before they collide and how this is related to the peak forces they can produce in any collision. Let’s consider the three main types of systems that can lead to concussions and make predictions about them using forces and energy as it relates to player #84.
Considering both objects that are about to collide in each interaction, which system would you predict to have the least amount of total kinetic energy in the system right before the objects collide? In each instance below, player #84 is running at a speed of 7 miles per hour.
A. Player #84 running and heading the soccer ball that was kicked by another player
B. Player #84 running and colliding with another running player running towards them
Player #84 running and hitting the ground
