If we increase the distance to a hail mary which could be 50 yards (45.72 metres) the time taken will also increase, but since the path of the football will have a projectile motion the arc will also increase. So in this example v = 18.288m/1.25s, v = 14.6304m/s or if we use significant digits the answer would be 14.6m/s or 52.6km/hr. To figure out the speed of the football we can use the formula for speed which is: v = d/t (where 'v' represents the speed/velocity, 'd' represents the distance and 't' represents the time taken). For our example, Cam throws a football for 20 yards which is 18.288 metres and it took 1.25 seconds to reach the wide receiver. He is a key example of a quarterback who has high velocity/speed on a football throw. One of the best quarterback's in the NFL right now is the newcomer, Cam Newton who plays for the Carolina Panthers. One way of doing this is to throw or kick a football with a high velocity/speed. ![]() In football one of the most important components is being able to throw or kick a football, more importantly to throw or kick a football in order to score. ![]() Kinematics: Is the branch of physics that analyzes motion in terms of time and distance.
