The Scenario:The game is tied 8-8, and you catch the ball in the center of the box, in a prime position to shoot and score to win. For this scenario, we are saying that we are shooting the ball from 30 feet away, which is also 9.144 meters. The goalie in net has only one weakness, right above his head. This means that to win the game, you must hit the top of the net, right above the center of the goalies head. This centerpoint happens to be perfectly in line with where you release the ball from your stick, which is why this is the right shot to take. If it is too slow, the goalie will save the ball, and your team is too tired to play overtime. For this skilled goalie, a shot must be at least 87 mph fast. What physics can you remember to make sure that this is a goal?
