Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
- 2
Momentum in football is calculated by multiplying a player's mass by their velocity, represented by the formula P = MV.
- 3
In football, collisions are typically inelastic collisions, where kinetic energy is released as compression between players' bodies and sound waves.
