Can't tell if you've accidentally placed this question in the wrong category, or if you want to use a motorcycle helmet for bike riding.
But basically any helmet is better than no helmet, but a helmet built for the intended usage is better than just using any helmet.
In this case a football helmet is designed to be able to take several hits with lesser energy than compared to a motorcycle helmet.
An MC helmet is expected to protect against one massive hit and then to be discarded.

How do you collect data on how well does a football helmet really protect against impact?
With a National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) certified tower.
Can a 7th grader use how well does a football helmet really protect against impact for a science fair project?
es, that is the topic of my science fair project......
How well does a football helmet protect aginst impact?
if in good condition it is designed to destroy its self before u get hurt
How does a helmet protect you?
A helmet prevents the head from taking a direct impact with some solid object.
What kind of sport helmets protect you from the most impact?
A Bicycle helmet
How well does a football helmet really protect against impact?
Really it depends on the velocity and how hard you hit someone. or how big or tall.
Does a fotball helmet really protect against impact?
It gives the head a pad of protection, not all the protection in the world though, that's why today you see all these players getting concussions
Can a motorcycle helmet be dropped and still protect?
Yes, but it is not recommended. Helmet manufacturers recommend helmet replacement after any impact to the shell. A motorcycle helmet is designed to absorb the impact and damage that would otherwise be reserved for your skull, but it is not designed to survive the impact. Any impact from a drop on solid ground (concrete or hardwood floor) can cause microfractures to the shell that are naked to the human eye. A good rule of thumb is this: If the impact would have raised a bump on your unprotected head, get a new helmet.
How does a bike helmet protect your head?
By absorbing some of the impact energy and spreading some of it over a larger surface.
How is chemistry related to a football helmet?
Chemistry is involved in the creation of materials used in football helmets, such as polymers and impact-resistant materials. These materials are designed to withstand high-impact collisions and protect the player's head from injury. Additionally, chemistry is key in understanding the properties of these materials and how they behave under different conditions.
Do helmets prevent injury?
Helmets can only protect your head. so if your balls get hit the helmet does not protect them.
Is it OK to apply Vaseline to the outside of a football helmet to reduce friction and rotational forces on impact?
It sounds a bit messy; personally I would be concerned that when I am not wearing my helmet, and put it away with the rest of my football uniform, Vaseline is accidentally going to get smeared on my clothing. I doubt that the Vaseline coating on a helmet would actually make very much difference in the kind of impact your helmet would experience, although in theory I agree that there would be less friction. A much better strategy would be to avoid getting hit in the first place, if you can. But everything considered, I see no reason why you could not put Vaseline on your football helmet if you so desire. Also note that Vaseline is flammable, so be careful about wearing your Vaseline coated helmet when lighting up a cigarette (which you should not be doing anyway) or birthday candles, etc.
