1. What sport did you choose? What is the history of your sport? When and by whom was it invented? How much has it changed since it was invented? football,1300's edward III invented the sport football .In terms of weight, NFL Gridiron in physics, it means the product of a force times a distance, which is an energy.
is getting bigger every year at an alarming rate. The last independent study showed that 56% of Gridiron players are clinically obese in nfl while 97% are overweight.

2. Describe the objects in motion in your sport. Do people move around a lot? Do they move in straight lines or do they change directions? Is a ball or other object the main part of the game or sport? Yes of course peaple move around and not only move around but they also run around trying to get the ball into the base .People who play football they run all around and they are always changing directions .The ball and the base is the whole point of the game.

3. What two things must be measured to determine the average speed of an object? Design a way to measure the average speed of a moving person or object in this sport, such as the speed of a served tennis ball or the speed of a figure skater gliding across the ice. Describe how this speed is controlled by the athlete.Speed and velocity.the way that i can measure the average of speed is by going on and timing the speed orthe duration of the ride and then i will see how fast does it go and what is the speed of it.this speed is controled by athlets who are trained and ready to be running the whole game without stoping


4. Review the definition of work (the scientific definition). Try to identify and describe at least two examples of an action in which work is done in your sport. Remember, the force and the distance moved must be in the same direction. What information would you need to calculate the amount of work done?in physics, it means the product of a force times a distance, which is an energy


5. Find at least one example of each of Newton's laws of motion in your sport. Describe each examp
