English: When a soccer ball is kicked with a counter-clockwise spin, low pressure occurs when the airflow is in the same direction as the spin on the ball and high pressure occurs when the airflow is in the opposite direction as the spin on the ball.
The Magnus effect is a phenomenon that occurs when a spinning object is moving through a fluid or gas (air). A lift force acts on the spinning object and its path may be deflected in a manner not present when it is not spinning. The strength and direction of the Magnus effect is dependent on the speed and direction of the rotation of the object ...
The Magnus Effect is something most people have never heard of until now that a YouTube clip explaining what it does showed how incredibly cool physics can be. These kids went to a 415-foot-high ...

In baseball and softball, the curveball is a type of pitch thrown with a characteristic grip and hand movement that imparts forward spin to the ball, causing it to dive as it approaches the plate. Varieties of curveball include the 12–6 curveball, power curveball, and the knuckle curve. Its close relatives are the slider and the slurve. The ...

The Magnus effect, demonstrated on a ball. v represents the wind velocity, the arrow F the resulting force towards the side of lower pressure. Topspin on a shot imparts a downward force that causes the ball to drop, due to its interaction with the air (see Magnus effect). In racquet sports, it can be generated by hitting the ball with an up-and ...
English: Magnus effect. In sum, the air flow around the side of the clockwise rotating cylinder, which rotates with the flow, is greater than on the other side causing a slight pressure difference. In sum, the air flow around the side of the clockwise rotating cylinder, which rotates with the flow, is greater than on the other side causing a ...
