Best Answer

The boundary layer of air next to the skin gets dragged around with the spinning ball, on one side its away from the direction of motion creating low pressure zone, on the other side its against the direction of motion, building a high pressure zone, the pressure difference pushes the ball from the high pressure to the low pressure zone.

What is the relationship between power and artistic and literary culture in the Greek world?

In greek society, the people revolved around religion, although it wasnt a strict one. People werent ruled by kings or leaders majority of places, but they did tend to follow their preiest or preistess and follow what they said on behalf of the gods. If you were more skilled in specialized practices, or more educated, since it was an oligarchy society (where the power lies in the small, wealthy elites), you would of course be ranked higher than slaves and peasants, but merchants and such typically werent ruling forces.
