Acceleration- The rate at which something increases in velocity.
Component- Any one of a set of vectors whose combination (resultant) is another vector
Continuum- A link between two things, or a continuous series of things, that blend into
each other so gradually and seamlessly that it is impossible to say where one becomes the
next.
Quadrant- Any one of the four section into which the perpendicular axes of a coordinate
system divide a two dimensional surface.
Coordinate System- coordinate system is a mathematical language that is used to
describe geometrical objects analytically; that is, if the coordinates of a set of points are
known, their relationships and the properties of figures determined by them can be
obtained by numerical calculations instead of by other descriptions. It is the province of
analytic geometry, aided chiefly by calculus, to investigate the means for these
calculations.
Energy- is a scalar physical quantity, often denoted by the letter (E), that is used to
describe a conserved property of objects and system of objects.
Force- a physical influence that tends to change the position of an object with mass,
equal to the rate of change in momentum of the object, denoted by (F)
Hale Mary- A log high pass into the end zone in football, in an effort to score a
touchdown before time runs out in the half or game.
Inertia- The property of a body by which it remains at rest or continues moving in a
straight line unless acted upon by a directional force.
Kinetic Energy- of an object is the extra energy which it possesses due to its motion.
Line of Scrimmage- In football, an imaginary line across the field at which the ball rests
and where the players of the opposing teams line up facing each other for a play.
Newton – An SI unit of force equivalent to the force that produces an acceleration of one
meter per second on a mass of one kilogram.
Offensive Linemen- Offensive guards primary role is to block both running and passing
plays.
Polar Coordinates- In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional
coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by an angle and a
distance. The polar coordinate system is especially useful in situations where the
relationship between two points is most easily expressed in terms of angles and distance;
in the more familiar Cartesian or rectangular coordinate system, such a relationship can
only be found through trigonometric formulae.
Projectile Motion- The motion of a moving object with constant force acting on it. The
motion of the projectile (the object) traces out a parabola. Air resistance is usually
ignored. Often, in projectile motion questions, you're expected to break the motion into
two parts: a component parallel to the force (up-down motion in the case of gravity) and
perpendicular (horizontal motion for gravity). The perpendicular velocity remains
constant, whilst the parallel velocity changes with whatever acceleration the force exerts
(9.8 meters per second, per second in the case of gravity). Projectile motion is the path
followed by a ball) flying through the air without a motor. This is the movement of an
object through space having an initial horizontal velocity and vertical velocity. The
vertical velocity is influenced by gravity. So the object moves in a curved path. It moves
away from you because of the horizontal velocity but is also falling because of the pull of
gravity. . A curved path caused by the combination of an initial forward velocity and the
downward force of gravity… anything that is projected and causes a curve path.
Punter- (football) a person who kicks the football by dropping it from the hands and
contacting it with the foot before it hits the ground.
Pythagorean theorem- a proved geometric proposition stating that the square of the
longest side (hypotenuse) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other
two sides
Resultant vector- The vector resulted from an addition of two or more vectors.
Running Back – the modern term for the position formally called “halfback”. The
running back carries the ball on most running plays and is also frequently used as a shortyardage receiver. Running backs, along with the wide receivers, are generally the fastest
players on the offensive team. Most of them tend not to run straight ahead, preferring to
make quick cutbacks to try to find holes in the defense.
Scalar Quantity- a quantity, that has magnitude but no direction or example, mass or
time.
Snapper center - (football) the person who plays center on the line of scrimmage and
snaps the ball to the quarterback; "the center fumbled the handoff".
Trajectory- The path a projectile makes through space under the action of given forces
such s trust, wind, gravity.
Vector Sum- The result of adding two vectors, obtained graphically as the directed
diagonal of the parallelogram whose sides are the given vectors.
Vectors- A quantity, for example, force or velocity, made up of components of both
direction and magnitude.
Velocity- The speed at which something moves, happens, or is done.
Work- is the amount of energy transferred by a force.
