What is the physics in actually THROWING a football?
With the human arm acting as a lever and the elbow acting as a fulcrum, the football, held in the hand which applies directional torque, is launched in a specific trajectory based on the work applied to the throw, the launch angle, and the height from which it is released. The resulting momentum carries the projectile (the football) through the air, where the spin applied by the hand (torque), helps it deflect friction caused by wind resistance (drag affected by inertia) as the ball continues through the air.
