Hello.
Does anybody knows the formula for trajectory of curving ball (in 3D).
Does anybody knows the formula for trajectory of curving ball (in 3D).
The trajectory of a curving ball is the path that the ball takes as it moves through the air. It is affected by factors such as the initial velocity, angle of release, air resistance, and spin of the ball.
A curving ball curves due to the Bernoulli Principle, which states that an increase in the speed of a fluid (in this case the air) will result in a decrease in pressure. This pressure difference causes the ball to deflect in the opposite direction of the spin, resulting in a curved path.
Spin plays a crucial role in the trajectory of a curving ball. Depending on the direction and speed of the spin, the ball will curve in the opposite direction. This is due to the Magnus effect, which states that the direction of the deflection will be perpendicular to the direction of the spin.
Yes, the trajectory of a curving ball can be predicted using mathematical equations and physics principles. However, the exact trajectory may vary depending on external factors such as wind and air resistance.
Some techniques for controlling the trajectory of a curving ball include adjusting the spin, speed, and angle of release. Additionally, changes in the surface of the ball, such as adding texture or altering the seams, can also affect the trajectory.
