Fluid Mechanics
-
Magnus Effect
-
For example top spin causes the ball to drop quickly (hitting over the top of the ball) where as back spin tends to make the ball fly slower but for longer (slicing under the ball).
Centre of Buoyancy
-
For example how your legs sink before your upper does because it is comprised of more muscle and weight.
Profile Drag
-
A flat smooth throw with the object flying through the air with a small surface area will reach a greater distance than a ball that flies side on
-
Drag
refers to the nature of the resistive force that is exerted on an object trying to move through fluid
-
Lift
Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. It contrasts with the drag force
