    I'm as smart as Sheldon Cooper and I say in order to hit it in do the following;😊
    1. **Geometry Setup:**
    - Let's denote the distance from the penalty spot to the hoop as \( d \) meters.
    - The height of the hoop from the ground is \( h \) meters.
    - The width of the hoop is \( w \) meters.
    2. **Calculating the Angle (\( \theta \)):**
    - Using trigonometry, we can calculate the angle at which to kick the ball. We want the ball to enter the hoop, so we need to find the angle that allows this.
    - One approach is to use the tangent function: \( \tan(\theta) = \frac{h}{d} \).
    - Therefore, \( \theta = \arctan(\frac{h}{d}) \).
    3. **Considering the Force:**
    - The force required to kick the ball at the calculated angle depends on various factors such as the weight of the ball, air resistance, etc.
    - Without precise measurements and specific conditions, it's challenging to provide an exact mathematical formula for force. However, you can experiment with different force levels during practice to find what works best for you.
    4. **Practice and Refinement:**
    - Practice your kicks at the calculated angle, adjusting the force as needed based on the distance to the hoop and environmental conditions.
    - Analyze your shots to identify any patterns or areas for improvement, and continue refining your technique accordingly.
    By using trigonometry to calculate the angle and adjusting the force through experimentation, you can increase your chances of hitting the penalty shot inside the hoop consistently.

    I wonder if we actually compute the angles, speed of ball, wind speed and every other variable, when placing the ball perfectly where we want it to go. To me it just seems natural, as I’ve done it for many years but I do wonder if we compute it in pure mathematics subconsciously!

    When Newton said g = Gm1m2/r^2, he was wrong. At the same time scientists say that his 1st law of motion is wrong as well because of the 1st law of thermodynamics. They claim that an external force can not change momentum in the body of a mass in motion. Think Bend It Like Beckham and yet who wanted him on the team? Word was he couldn't play defense.
