Newton's Laws (sports science)

What is sport science one may ask?

"The Emmy Award-winning TV series, hosted by John Brenkus, uncovers sports' biggest myths and mysteries by using cutting-edge technology to measure momentum, friction and the laws of gravity."

SUMMARY For example:

In this episode they measured a college football defensive end took his speed and weight and was
able to determine how hard he was capable of tackling. The host suited up in equipment and went head to head with the athlete. The equipment they wore was able to record and mark down data that made it easy for them to determine how fast the football player was running, how hard the football player's hit was. All this is Newton's Law of motion. Basically they take science and sports and bring them together to make the Sport's world even more interesting and exciting.
