Science behind rotating ball

Magnus effect

how a cricket spinner spin the ball??

Players of TENNIS and CRICKET often feels that, when a ball is thrown then it does not follow a straight line but it follows a curved path, WHY??? 
                      
                             i'll explain it,why a cricket ball follows a curved path.





when a ball is thrown then an effect works behind it called MAGNUS  EFFECT

i'll explain it by a figure so that i can make it easier


   The movement of ball on curved path is called SWING. 
  • When a, thrown ball moves ahead,then empty space  left behind  the ball is  filled by the air rapidly.
  • Let the air velocity is "v" (air going to fill the empty)
  • If the ball is spining with velocity "u" then the air around the ball is also moving with velocity "u"
  • Then as shown in the figure, the velocity of lower side of the ball is "u+v" and of upper side is "u-v" 
  • It results that, pressure on upper side of the ball is greater than the lower side(BERNOULLI'S THEOREM)
  • Due to this pressure difference the ball moves in a curved path.
  • This is called   MAGNUS EFFECT.
  • Bowllers use this trick behind swing the ball, spin the ball.
  • famous bowler Zaheer Khan,Murlitharan,Shane warn are known for there bowlling all over the world.

Does the full Moon make earth's tides stronger

MOON and TIDES of EARTHज्वार-भाटा और चाँद का इससे  सम्बन्ध  The mooon is the main reason why oceans have tides;the moon's gravity has stronger influence on the side of earth nearest to it, and it draws earth's water towards it ever so slightly ,which causes daily tides. May be you have noticed that tide runs higher during the FULL-MOON but it is not the moon's phase that causes that. the moon's tidle effects depend only on its mass and its distance from earth,which stay almost constant no matter its phase.                              So what makes high tides get even higher ?                             It is to do with the sun. The sun has also have gravitational pull on earth ,although a little less than half that of the moon.                          ...

Bernoulli's Theorem

Floating of Ping-Pong Ball on  water jet & air jet The principal  behind floating of a ping -pong ball is based on  BERNOULLI'S THEOREM now i am  going to tell you the whole principal behind this phenomenon. pin-pong ball placing on air jet First to understand this phenomenon, we should to look upon BERNOULLI'S THEOREM BERNOULLI'S THEOREM        This theorem is like energy conservation principle.   "When a non-compressible and non-viscous Liquid or Gas flow like linear current motion, then  at any point of it's path the TOTAL ENERGY (sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy and potential energy) of liquid or gas  remains constant."                                      It is the BERNOULLI'S THEOREM now the the conclusion comes out that            "the side where the velocit...
