First of all it's kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is when something is in motion. The football would be in motion when it is in the air. It would also have potential energy. Potential energy is when an item is about to have kinetic energy, or when your about to throw the ball.

What is the mechanical energy of a football during a pass?
During a pass, a football's mechanical energy is potential energy. Mechanical energy is "potential" for any object in motion that is not moving itself (the football is displaced by the player).
What are examples of chemical to electrical energy?
ex: mechanical energy * a running person * moving windmill * person throwing a ball ex: electrical energy * t.v * computer * toaster
What are some examples of chemical to electrical energy?
ex: mechanical energy * a running person * moving windmill * person throwing a ball ex: electrical energy * t.v * computer * toaster
Can an object have both mechanical and kinetic energy?
If an object has kinetic energy, then almost BY DEFINITION it has mechanical energy. "Mechanical energy" is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Where is mechanical energy used in home?
Most of the devices that we use in society is a kind of mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the energy of the other. Elevators. Convert electrical energy into mechanical. The car. Converted to mechanical energy is fossil. A bicycle. Muscular body converts energy to mechanical energy.
What converts mechanical energy into mechanical energy?
potiental energy
The conversion of electrical energy in to mechanical energy?
Motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy. Generators transfer mechanical energy to electrical energy.
What are examples for mechanical heat energy?
As far as I know, there is no such thing as "mechanical heat energy"; there is mechanical energy, and there is heat energy.
What is the difference between a kicking football and a throwing one?
A kicking football is essentially a brand new football that is fresh out of the package. A throwing football is a "broken in" ball that is more used and easier to handle.
What is mechanical energy and it's examples?
a mechanical energy is a kind of energy
When did football start using throwing?
Im pretty sure they were throwing before they were running throwing has always been a technique in football but both ways of the game have new plays and new ways of throwing and running the balll.
What kind of energy does mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is the combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.
