This blog was an assignment for my chemical engineering fluid mechanics course at Auburn University. The posts are about naturally occurring fluid mechanics phenomena that I noticed on a daily basis.

College Football
What describes Fall Saturdays in the South more than college football games? I was embracing my southern culture and I watched several college football games today. I became mindful of the momentum that is transferred between two players during a tackle. I saw one tackle where both of the players made contact and neither of them fell down, just stopped moving. This is because each player had an equal momentum traveling in opposite directions upon contact and they just canceled each other out.
