Lyman Briggs later studied baseballs in a wind tunnel, [10] and others have produced images of the effect. [25] [26] [12] The studies show that a turbulent wake behind the spinning ball causes aerodynamic drag, plus there is a noticeable angular deflection in the wake, and this deflection is in the direction of spin.
Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.
Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Chuck Bednarik's 1952 playing card. Chuck Bednarik was one of the last National Football League two-way players.As the league developed, it became too physically demanding for most players to play both offense and defense and the two-way system was incrementally phased out with Bednarik being the last NFL player still playing two-ways.
In endurance sports such as road cycling and long-distance running, hitting the wall or the bonk is a condition of sudden fatigue and loss of energy which is caused by the depletion of glycogen stores in the liver and muscles. Milder instances can be remedied by brief rest and the ingestion of food or drinks containing carbohydrates.
A high force, over a short duration, usually causes more damage to both bodies than a lower force applied over a proportionally longer duration. At normal speeds, during a perfectly inelastic collision , an object struck by a projectile will deform , and this deformation will absorb most or all of the force of the collision.

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 ...
A body force is simply a type of force, and so it has the same dimensions as force, [M][L][T] −2. However, it is often convenient to talk about a body force in terms of either the force per unit volume or the force per unit mass. If the force per unit volume is of interest, it is referred to as the force density throughout the system.
