Calculate the lift force and trajectory curvature caused by spinning balls in sports. Understand the physics behind curveballs, banana kicks, and spinning projectiles.
Analyze curveballs in baseball, banana kicks in soccer, topspin in tennis, and swing bowling in cricket.
Based on real Magnus Effect equations with air density, spin rate, and velocity calculations.
See trajectory curves and force vectors with animated visualizations.
Instant results as you adjust parameters. No waiting for calculations.
Current Spin: 10 rev/sec (Counter-clockwise)
Expected Trajectory Curve
The Magnus effect is the force perpendicular to motion of a spinning object in a fluid, caused by pressure differences.
Used in baseball curveballs, soccer banana kicks, tennis topspin, cricket swing bowling, and golf shots.
Similar to wing lift in aviation. Spinning creates asymmetrical airflow and pressure distribution.
Uses fluid dynamics equations considering air density, velocity, spin rate, and ball characteristics.
Based on actual sports physics research and aerodynamic studies of spherical objects.
Perfect for physics students, sports scientists, coaches, and curious minds.
