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?
The mechanical energy of a football during a pass is a combination of its kinetic energy (related to its motion) and potential energy (related to its position relative to the ground). As the football moves through the air, it has kinetic energy, and when it reaches its highest point, it has more potential energy due to its height. The total mechanical energy remains constant if air resistance and other external forces are negligible.
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 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.
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 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 is mechanical energy and it's examples?
a mechanical energy is a kind of energy
What kind of energy does mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is the combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Can you score from a throwing in football?
No you can not score from a throw in.
What are the muscles used when throwing a football?
Tricept
What changes mechanical energy to energy?
A generator changes mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Potential energy plus kinetic energy equal what?
The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy is equal to the total mechanical energy of a system. Mechanical energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy.
