If you do not hit the ball exactly towards the centr of the cup, like a maypole as you're trying to run by it, grab,. And what happens to you? You sket to swinl swe so all of a sudden, your linear momentum also manifests as angular momentum around the pole. So that happens. We you see the ball ring around as baste lip outs, or every third, right? Every way i think about it, that rings around in
What is the Magnus Effect? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and co-hosts Chuck Nice and Gary O’Reilly explore physics through spin, banking, and angular momentum. Why are race tracks banked?
