Question

In YouTube videos by How Ridiculous, this effect makes balls travel further than if thrown by the human arm. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this effect that causes an upward force on a spinning object. This effect is what causes a cricket ball to swing in the air.

ANSWER: Magnus effect

[10e] The Magnus effect occurs because this force acts on a spinning object. Airfoils produce this force, which opposes gravity and keeps airplanes up.

ANSWER: lift [or aerodynamic force]

[10m] This equation is used to calculate the lift on an airplane’s wings. This equation relates changes in pressure to height and fluid velocity.

ANSWER: Bernoulli’s equation [or Bernoulli’s principle]
