Vectors - A vector is when something has a number of magnitude and direction. A good example of a vector that takes place in football would be when a quarter back throws a pass. This is because the ball has a direction to where it is thrown, and the ball has a magnitude because of how hard the ball was thrown.
Johnny Manziel
Johnny Manziel the football player throwing the ball to the left, is a perfect example of a vector. The direction Johnny looks like his is throwing is down the field, or straight. Johnny Manziel can throw a football 24.5 meters per second, which relates to the magnitude part for a vector.
Q1. If Johnny Manziel can throw a football 24.5 m/s and the football weighs .453kg. What is the force? (magnitude)
A. 11.09 N
Q2. What would be another good example of a vector that relates to football?
a. A player tackling another.
b. A kicker kicking a field goal.
c. A wide receiver catching the football.
A. Answer, b. This is because when the kicker kicks the football the ball is going down the
field, and he applies lots of force or magnitude to kick the football.
