Python Physics: Could a Snowball Deflect an NFL Field Goal

Learn to model and analyze the physics of a snowball's potential impact on an NFL field goal kick using VPython programming. Through this 29-minute physics tutorial, explore real-world applications by examining a viral incident from a snowy Buffalo Bills game where a fan threw a snowball at a field goal attempt. Dive into the mathematical calculations and computational modeling required to determine if a snowball collision could actually affect the trajectory of a kicked football. Follow along with provided code examples in VPython to create your own simulation and understand the underlying physics principles of momentum, collision dynamics, and projectile motion.
