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.

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...

Beautiful phenomenon based on surface tension

Beautiful phenomenon based on surface tension Hello friends, here i'm going to tell you some  more  special and beautiful phenomenon based on surface tension. The first is............. 1.Formation of Lead Shots (MARBLES) For making marbles, we take the melted glass in liquid form. Now from a certain height melted glass is threw into  a big water tank as a fountain. During fall of glass liquid due to surface tension the melted glass acquire minimum surface area and turns into spherical marbles. Reaching to the water tank it converts into solid marbles. By this process the beautiful & colorful marbles  are formed,in case of big drops it is affected by gravity and it becomes some flat. NOW BEAUTIFUL  MARBLES ARE READY 2.Spraying results in coldness When we spray water on skin or on anyone then we feel coldness why?? do you know?? When we spray water then it converts into numerous small drops due to this the surface ar...
