  2. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    The Magnus effect is a phenomenon that occurs when a spinning object is moving through a fluid or gas (air). A lift force acts on the spinning object and its path may be deflected in a manner not present when it is not spinning. The strength and direction of the Magnus effect is dependent on the speed and direction of the rotation of the object ...

  3. External ballistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_ballistics

    The Magnus effect will act as a destabilizing force on any bullet with a center of pressure located ahead of the center of gravity, while conversely acting as a stabilizing force on any bullet with the center of pressure located behind the center of gravity. The location of the center of pressure depends on the flow field structure, in other ...

  4. Bouncing ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouncing_ball

    In sports like tennis or volleyball, the player can use the Magnus effect to control the ball's trajectory (e.g. via topspin or backspin) during flight. In golf, the effect is responsible for slicing and hooking which are usually a detriment to the golfer, but also helps with increasing the range of a drive and other shots.

    Byju’s distress has weighed on India’s edtech industry in particular. The sector received $712 million in funding in 2023, down from $2.9 billion in 2022 and $5.3 billion in 2021.

  7. Kutta–Joukowski theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kutta–Joukowski_theorem

    Kutta–Joukowski theorem relates lift to circulation much like the Magnus effect relates side force (called Magnus force) to rotation. [3] However, the circulation here is not induced by rotation of the airfoil. The fluid flow in the presence of the airfoil can be considered to be the superposition of a translational flow and a rotating flow.
