A penalty can take as little as 0.3 seconds to reach the back of the net. Goalkeepers study probabilities because they don’t have time to react. Who’s got the fastest reaction time in your class? Find out with 👉spark.iop.org/building-react… #TeachPhysics #FACupFinal

ALT Gif: Goal keeper standing in a football goal. A blue and water football is on the 'penalty spot' it ends up in the bottom right corner of the goal. Text on screen reads 'Distance = 11m, Speed = 36 m/s" . Image changes to a visualisation of the probability.
