The forces acting on a gridiron football ball or rugby ball at impact are the force of gravity, the normal force, and the force of friction. Friction will normally have a "longitudinal" component due to the ball's velocity and "tumbling" spin and a "sideways" component due to the "on-axis" spin of the ball induced by the throw.
Under the Magnus effect, topspin produces a downward swerve of a moving ball, greater than would be produced by gravity alone. Backspin produces an upwards force that prolongs the flight of a moving ball. [4] Likewise side-spin causes swerve to either side as seen during some baseball pitches, e.g. slider. [5]
In physics, a collision is any event in which two or more bodies exert forces on each other in a relatively short time. Although the most common use of the word collision refers to incidents in which two or more objects collide with great force, the scientific use of the term implies nothing about the magnitude of the force.

[12] [13]: 150 The physics concept of force makes quantitative the everyday idea of a push or a pull. Forces in Newtonian mechanics are often due to strings and ropes, friction, muscle effort, gravity, and so forth. Like displacement, velocity, and acceleration, force is a vector quantity.
At a fixed point on the surface, the magnitude of Earth's gravity results from combined effect of gravitation and the centrifugal force from Earth's rotation. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] At different points on Earth's surface, the free fall acceleration ranges from 9.764 to 9.834 m/s 2 (32.03 to 32.26 ft/s 2 ), [ 4 ] depending on altitude , latitude , and ...
After a 77-0 victory over Cleveland High School, several Willis High School football players are seen in a video, some with belts in their hands, slightly hitting their opponents on their backside ...
Repeated head injuries, often experienced by football players, boxers, and other athletes, can cause long-term problems, such as concentration and memory issues, mental health conditions ...
The No. 98 Honda was on the outside of Pato O'Ward approaching Turn 1 on Lap 114, which Andretti called a "killer" restart after a yellow flag on Lap 113, when Andretti lost control of the car.
