When you hear the word aerodynamics, the first thing that comes to mind is airplanes and pilots. There are other applications that apply. For instance, the passing of a football. A football that is thrown into the air has inertia. This is the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion. But because of gravity the ball is pulled down and resistance that slows the ball down. A quarterback through the motions of his and body, must balance the forward momentum that he gives the ball, fighting

compared to modern day car industry. Engineers and scientist incorporated knowledge and developed helmets equipped with more protection for the brain. A team lead by Dr.Stefan Duma for Virginia Tech released the first ever five-star crash rating for football helmets(Wilson). Duma’s top rated helmet was the Riddell 360, which is priced at $400. The helmet features a polycarbonate frame that absorbs impact really well. Keep in mind, no helmet can prevent a concussion from occurring, but Duma says, “

A projectile is a body in free fall that is subject only to the forces of gravity (9.81ms‾²) and air resistance (Webster). It was Galileo who first accurately described projectile motion. He showed that it could be understood by analyzing the horizontal and vertical components separately. No one had done this prior to Galileo. People use to think that when something is shot in the air it goes in the air and some how hit something and explode, before Galileo which followed largely Aristotelian lines

lands in their opponents' half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. A rally ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor. The shuttlecock (or shuttle) is a feathered projectile whose unique aerodynamic properties cause it to fly differently from the balls used in most racquet sports; in particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly than a ball. Shuttlecocks have a much higher top speed, when
