CONCEPT OF MAGNUS EFFECT # SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES BEHIND SPORTS
Dear Children, The Magnus effect is an observable phenomenon that is commonly associated with a spinning object moving through a fluid. The Magnus effect is dependent on the speed of rotation. Magnus effect occurs on spinning objects that are spherical or cylindrical. The effect that we can observe is that the moving spinning object bends away from the intended direction of travel. The spin of the object alters the airflow around the body and due to the conservation of momentum, it causes the Magnus effect.
