A football quarterback can throw a pass and then catch it himself if he maintains a consistent velocity while running. The key factor is that the ball's trajectory must intersect with the quarterback's path as he continues to run. This scenario relies on understanding projectile motion principles, specifically the horizontal and vertical components of the throw, and the time it takes for the ball to travel to the intended point. The quarterback must calculate the distance and timing accurately to successfully catch the ball after throwing it.
