A kicked football has, of course, kinetic energy. As it moves up, its vertical movement provides potential energy. Until it goes up to its maximum displacement from the ground, its potential energy is at 100% while the kinetic energy doesn't exist. As the football moves back down, its potential energy is decreasing, but kinetic energy is increasing because there's movement in the football

Will a spiralling motion football or a wobilling motion football go farther?

spiral!!it cuts through the air. that's why punts are not kicked end over end, but spiraled like a pass


How does potential and kinetic energy relate to football?

The football has (gravitational) potential energy because of its position above the ground. It also has kinetic energy because it is moving. The combined energy is called mechanical energy.


What is the difference between Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy?

POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy when something has energy but is currently stored and not being used. Example: Batteries have electrical energy stored in them but is not used until put inside of a camera, controller, remote, and etc. KINETIC ENERGY is energy when something is being moved, thrown, rolled, or spun by force. Example: When a football is thrown from the Quarterback to the Receiver, the ball is thrown using KINETIC ENERGY.


Why does the leading end of the football arc over during its trajectory versus remaining in the same orientation that it was thrown in?

The ball is a projectile, and as such, the only force acting on it after it has been thrown or kicked is gravity, so after it reaches its highest point, it will begin to fall to the ground at the rate of 9.8m/s2 .


Why does the amount of useful energy decrease as energy changes form?

In any practical machine there is always some loss of energy in its operation, such as losses from an internal combustion engine, or friction in a gearbox, so you never get as much useful output as a straight equivalence of energy would suggest.
