1. magnus effect creation of an additional magnus force on a spinning pro-
jectile which deviates from the flight path
2. magnus force a force created from a pressure gradient on opposing
surfaces of a spinning body moving through the air
3. slice - a type of side spin used to deviate a projectiles flight path
to the right
4. hook - a type of side spin used to deviate a projectiles flight path
to the left
- creates a magnus force to the left, swerving the projectile
to the left
5. top spin - creates a downward magnus force, shortening its flight
path
- creates a magnus force to the right, swerving the projec-
tile to the right
6. back spin - creates a upward magnus force, lengthening its flight
path
7. projectile a body which is launched into the air losing contact with
the ground surface, such as a discus or long jumper
8. projectile motion movement of a body through the air following a curved
flight path under the force of gravity
9. factors affecting - speed of release
projectile of mo- - angle of release
tion - height of release
- aerodynamic factor
10. speed of release horizontal distance travelled by a projectile is affected by
speed of release
due to newtons 2nd law of acceleration, the more force
applied the larger the change in momentum thus the ac-
celeration
