The sport of football is a fast passed, rough, and tumble sport. To play this game you must be fast, agile, strong, big, and intimidating. These things help but you must have an understanding of physic and its laws. Physics has an important part in every aspect of football, from running the football, all the way to kicking off and punting football. Even tackling and taking a hit has to do with physics. Football is physics in a form that everyone can understand. It is a living and breathing example of everyday physics.
When punting and kicking off the ball physics is need to get desired results. When punting the football the kicker starts with the ball in his hand. It is necessary to kick the ball far and have enough hang time for your defensive lineman to get down the fie
Football affects football and other aspects of life as well. This project shows how physics is used in kicking the football. It helped me to get a better understanding of physics by relating it to something I know. With out physics the kicker would not truly understand what he is doing out on the field without know some sort of physics. This project made me see that physics is a necessary part of life.
