sports science on NGC!!!
sports science is on national geographic and DAYUM! seen why i was responsible for so many broken bones in football!
do we have any mathematicians in here?
they were measuring football hits and their effects on the reciever/giver and they had a dude that, though 4inches taller than me at the time i played, we weighed the same.
this particular linebacker is 6'3" 250lbs.
his measured acceleration prior to the tackle was 14mph
the amount of force generated was about 1,180lbs
i'm just wondering how much for i generated back then, but since mph were immeasurable for me, all i have for acceleration was my average 40yd time, which was 4.3sec @ 250lbs.
the formula: f=MA
just need someone to translate(if possible) the 40yd time to mph(once again, if possible) that way i can multiply that to my mass and get the approx. force.........
