Large frisbee=better lift; stays in the air longer

small frisbee=drops sooner, is faster

Heavy frisbee=drops sooner, better accuracy

light frisbee=drops later, may get blown off course by the wind

What provides the lift to keep a Frisbee in flight?

The aerodynamic design of a Frisbee, specifically the shape of its curved surface, creates lift as it moves through the air. When the Frisbee is thrown with enough spin, the air moving over the curved surface generates an upward force that helps keep it aloft. Additionally, the angle at which the Frisbee is thrown also affects the lift it receives.


What are the physics behind a frisbee?

A ball will bounce if the material it is made of has a high elasticity property. That is the property to return to its original shape when deformed. So when a falling ball hits a hard surface the force of the impact will slightly flatten the ball. This is deforming the ball and when the ball snaps back to its original shape there will be forces on the ball by the surface it is in contact with to push the ball back up.


Does the shape and size affect the flight and landing of a parachute?

Yes, the shape and size of a parachute can affect its flight and landing. A larger parachute will create more drag, slowing down the descent. The shape of the parachute can also impact how stable it is during flight and how smoothly it lands.


Is throwing a frisbee an example of force and motion?

Yes, throwing a frisbee involves applying force to make the frisbee move, which in turn causes it to exhibit motion as it travels through the air. The force applied to the frisbee is transferred to it, causing it to move in the direction and speed determined by the force applied.


Is catching a pull or a push?

Catching a push is when the frisbee is coming towards you when the thrower released it and you end up having to step forward to catch it. Catching a pull is different in that the frisbee is moving away from the thrower and you catch it by moving backward to receive it.

What is the mass of a frisbee?

Frisbee are built with different masses for different flight characteristics. Depends on the Frisbee you buy as to what the mass is. Good ones are marked with their mass in grams.


What are the ridges running around a Frisbee called?

The ridges running around a Frisbee are called "ribs" or "rings." These features help provide stability and lift during flight by creating a more aerodynamic shape. They also improve grip and control when throwing the Frisbee.

What are the dimension to a regulation frisbee?

A regulation frisbee, specifically the standard disc used in Ultimate Frisbee, typically has a diameter of about 10.75 inches (27.3 cm) and a thickness of approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm). Its weight ranges from 175 to 180 grams. These dimensions ensure optimal flight performance and handling during gameplay.
