This past friday, I was watching the UH vs. Nevada football game on ESPN2, which turned out to be an amazing game. There was a lot of physics in play as players on both sides were getting nailed left and right. In this particular play, I remember seeing Tyler Graunke, the quarterback for Hawaii, taking a while to get off the ground after being hit by the Nevada player. It made me realize that a lot of momentum must have been transferred from the tackler to Graunke as he could really feel the hit. Because the defender's velocity and mass were both fairly high, a lot of momentum was transferred to Graunke who eventually tranferred it to the ground. Also, in the final play of the game, Hawaii's kicker, Dan Kelly, needed to generate lots of force and velocity on the football as he kicked it through the goal posts to preserve the victory. It was an extremely exciting game but I was still able to find the physics taking place.
