Ponca City, We Love You writes “There will be a program on applied physics and real time strategy that you might want to watch on television today. Conservation of momentum during elastic and inelastic collisions is one aspect on which to focus as players tackle their opponents. It is of critical importance that the Patriots bring down New York’s huge and powerful running back, 6-foot-4, 265-pound Brandon Jacobs. An average-size NFL defensive back’s mass combined with his speed — on average, 4.56 seconds for the 40-yard dash — can produce up to 1600 pounds of tackling force. A tackle with half a ton of force may sound like a crippling blow, but the body can handle twice that amount because the player’s equipment spreads out the incoming energy, lessening its severity.” Nanotech specialists from Cornell have developed their own take on the “physics” of the Super Bowl by creating the world’s smallest trophy, which will be awarded today to a contestant who best explains an aspect of football physics.
