How do you apply Newton's Laws of Motion to throwing a football?

I need to be able to demonstrate and write about how the laws of motion are applied to throwing a football.How do you apply Newton's Laws of Motion to throwing a football?1. The law of inertia: an object keeps doing what it's doing, unless an outside force changes it. Your football is at rest in your hand, and in order to change, a force must be applied. You could drop it, and the force is gravity or you can throw it.

2. The relationship between your football (mass) is explained by the force being equal to the product of its accelleration and mass. It can be measured by calculating its momentum, which is a relationship between time and distance. The force for your football is determined by who throws it, you, an NFL quarterback, or your girlfriend Sally, not to mention the accuracy. The accelleration is the inertial change, and it is a constant. The velocity changes, however, as friction, gravity, an interception, etc. influence it. The goal is that a receiver catches it, alters its inertia, changing its velocity by scoring a touchdown. There are some other formulae for determining momentum, velocity, etc. They would require weighing the football, measuring distance and speed, etc. It would be easier than calculating the same thing for your bottle rockets, but Newton expressed them as geometric vectors, a pretty chart with right angle lines representing differrent mathematical axes in the equation with pretty dots, connected by lines. Up until this time, it was assumed that velocity was a constant, just as people thought a rock and a feather would fall at different rates. Gallileo thought pretty much the same thing, but he had to change his mind, because the church said he had to, or he and his family could go directly to hell, without collecting $200.

3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you tell Sally she threw the ball like a girl she will recede, after altering the shape of your nose. When Jesus walked on water, the boat went one way, and he went the other. That is probably not a repeatable experiment.
