We explore relationships between velocity, acceleration, and severity of head injuries from helmet hits in football to explore the relationship between kinetic energy and speed. Using scatterplots, least square lines, and color we explore the data as you can in the [Effectiveness Of Football Helmets](https://tuvalabs.com/datasets/nfl_football_helmet_physics/activities/view/430) activity.
