According to Newton's First Law of Motion, what happens to an object in motion?
It changes direction spontaneously
It stops immediately without an external force
It loses mass over time
It tends to stay in motion in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
What is inertia in the context of football?
The resistance to changes in motion
The design of the football
The strategy used by quarterbacks
The ability to run fast
How does mass relate to inertia?
Only mass in motion has inertia
Higher mass means more inertia
Mass and inertia are unrelated
Less mass means more inertia
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Weight is a constant value, but mass changes with location
There is no difference; they are interchangeable terms
Mass is measured in pounds, while weight is measured in kilograms
Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, while weight is a measure of how strongly an object's mass is attracted by gravity
Why would a player with more mass be harder to move off their path?
Because they have more inertia
Because they have better balance
Because they have more speed
Because they have more agility
What technique does a quarterback use to gain yardage according to Joey Harrington?
A long pass to a wide receiver
A trick play to confuse the defense
A solo sprint avoiding all defenders
A quarterback sneak using the combined mass of his entire offensive line
