In 1686 Sir Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion. These laws are involved in every single football play. Whether it is a kickoff‚ pass‚ run‚ or extra point inertia‚ force‚ acceleration‚ momentum‚ and impulse are involved. Newton’s first law is the law of inertia and it states a body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
