Yes. That is one way kickers and punters used to "juice" footballs. Other ways include: heating a football in a microwave or an oven before the games, filling the ball with helium instead of oxygen (doesn't really make a big difference), loosening the laces on a football to give the ball a larger surface area to kick.

Which would go faster a D-inflated football or a inflated football?

An inflated football is essentially more aerodynamic than a deflated football. The inflated one would travel faster and a greater distance. However, if you dropped them both at the same time, they would it the ground at the same time, because gravity pulls everything downward at 9.81 meters per second squared (ignoring the effects of air resistance in this last case).


A football player kicks a football and a balloon what will happen?

The football travels a lot farther than the balloon does.


Why would a football travel further on the moon?

Gravity on the moon is much less than on earth (0.1654g) Therefore a football, when kicked will go much further before the week moon gravity pulls it back down to the surface.


Why does a football with more air pressure go further?

Increasing the air pressure in a football makes it more rigid, allowing it to maintain its shape better when kicked. This rigidity helps the football to travel further through the air with less drag and resistance. Additionally, the increased pressure can also result in a harder kick, leading to a longer distance.


Why does light travel further along power lines?

Light does not travel further along power lines. What phenomenon are you describing?


Would kicking a football on the moon be easier or harder?

It would be easier to kick a football on the moon because there would be no air to hold it back. The football would go farther even if less force is applied.


Why would your car start to shake and shudder after travelling 100ks and not at short distances?

Hmmmm Check your tyre pressures are equally inflated, the shudders could be caused after 100km travel due to uneqal heating of the tyres if unevenly inflated

Why will a Nerf football go farther than a pro football?

A Nerf football is designed to be lighter and more aerodynamic than a pro football, allowing it to travel farther when thrown due to reduced air resistance. The soft, foam material also helps absorb impact and allows for better grip and spin, further enhancing its flight performance compared to a heavier, more rigid pro football.
