In football, the ball is placed on the field after a play where the players movement has stopped. Although, if the player steps out of bounds, the ball is placed towards the center of the field to the nearest hash mark. If not, the ball would be placed at the sidelines.
A ball thrown across a football field is an example of a projectile.
on the foot ball field

In the NFL, the ball will be placed at the spot of the hold after a missed field goal. If the kick took place from inside the 20, the ball is moved out to the 20. In college football, the opposing team gets the ball from the original line of scrimmage.
The ball isn't thrown at the start of a football game. The game begins with a kick off. After the kick off the only time a ball can be thrown by an out field player is if it goes off at the sideline and a team is awarded a throw-in.
The defending team gets the ball after a missed field goal regardless of down Unless the refs call a do over and the team with the ball gets another chance to either run/pass for their extra points or make another kick attempt.
Projectile
The ball is placed where the ball actually is (assuming the player still has "possession") when the player is down by contact or when the knee hits the ground.
There is a line 3 yards off the goal line in the middle of the field where it is placed. The ball is in the same spot every time. Like every play the ball is spotted by the ref's.
The previous rule was if the kick was ruled no good and the ball went through the end zone or struck an upright it was considered a touchback and the ball was placed on the 20 yard line. If the ball did not get to the end zone and the non kicking team did not attempt to return it, the ball was placed at the spot the officials whistled it dead.
