Football

Back in my youth,  I was quite the football player. Ok not really; I was light, slow, and short. But even before my time of physics, I was doing physics. Let me explain how I would use physics in football. So,  first off there are many components to football. I'll start off with the hitting aspect of football. So basically the object of the lineman is to stop is opposing player, the defensive lineman, to not kill the quarterback. Let's look at the momentum aspect. As you know that momentum = FΔt. So in that little millisecond it takes the lineman and the defensive lineman to make contact, there is a force exerted by the players on the ground, and that force is big. About half a ton worth of force. And which player has the biggest momentum, knocks back there opposer and wins. So next time you look at a big hit by a football player on TV, just know that be got hit with more than 1000 pounds of force. That's all for now on football. Tune in next time for more physics of sports.
