How are science and football related? 🏈 Every time a football is thrown into the air, Newton's First Law of Motion is put into practice. Newton’s First Law states that an object at rest remains at rest, and an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted by an external force. The ball will continue to move in the same direction and at the same speed until another force is applied. If you were a quarterback looking to throw the perfect Hail Mary pass to win the big game, would you choose to throw the ball fast and hard or a little bit softer? 🧐 #3M #football #sciencebehind
