Watch the crazy crazy basketball experiment when dropping at a height of over 100m

Why is the movement of the ball so ridiculous? Please check the solution immediately!

The experiment dropped a basketball at a height of over 100m

What do you think will happen if you drop a basketball from a height of over 100m? Experts from Veritasium - a very famous scientific channel of Australia conducted this experiment on a 126.5m high dam in Tasmania (Australia).

It will . fall - The answer is too obvious right? You can see that the ball does not fall vertically but it is a little deviated by the impact of air resistance.

However, what if you add a bit of spin when dropping the ball?

And you see, the ball is now . crazy as it flies away and falls to the lake.

What is happening here? As explained by scientists, the reason the ball could suddenly "turn" like this is because of the Magnus effect (the Magnus effect) - a phenomenon that occurs with any circular cylindrical object moving. Rotate and move in the air at the same time.

Specifically, when the ball swirls, the air in front will move in the direction of the ball's spin, causing this force to decrease.

However, the opposite air flowed in the opposite direction, creating a repulsive force that made the balloon far away.

This phenomenon actually appears in many sports that use the ball - such as football, basketball . because when adding swirling force, the ball trajectory becomes more unpredictable .

But not only that, the Magnus effect is also used to create other types of transport. Have you noticed that marine engines, and even aircraft, have propellers? That is the application of the Magnus effect.

The Magnus effect was named after the German physicist Heinrich Gustav Magnus, who described this phenomenon in 1852.

However, in fact, Issac Newton was the first to point out and properly explain this phenomenon in 1672, when he observed tennis players.

And then in 1742, Benjamin Robin, an English mathematician, also explained that round bullets in muskets went astray - in accordance with what Magnus explained 100 years later.
