The Magnus effect is the force responsible for making a ball curve on a spinning carousel. As the ball moves through the air, the spin creates a pressure difference between the top and bottom sides of the ball, causing a sideways force that makes it curve.

What makes a curve so strong?

A curve is so strong because when you apply a force on top of the curve the weight of that forced is transferred to the bottom parts of the curve which makes it really strong like bridges that use arcs

Why doesn't water fall out of a bucket when it is swung quickly?

Water doesn't come out of the bucket while spinning it rapidly because of contrifugal force, it makes things move away from the center. Try spinning around for 7 secs and move your hands, it will feel hard to move down cause of contrifugal force.


What is the explanation of centrifugal force in a washing machine?

Centrifugal force in a washing machine occurs during the spin cycle. The spinning motion of the washer makes the clothes cling to the side of the washer drum, while the water is being sucked out by centrifugal force.


What is magnus force?

The magnus effect is what makes curve balls curve. It works by making one side of a thrown, spinning object brush past the air faster than the other side. The side of the ball where the spin is in the same direction as the direction of flight has a higher speed, relative to the air, than the other side of the ball, which is spinning backwards to the direction of flight and hence is moving slower relative to the air. The pressure on the baseball is lower on the advancing spin side and higher on the receding spin side, and this creates a difference of air pressure that pushes the ball sideways to the direction of flight toward the advancing spin side.

Because mahogany wood is what's known as a 'hard wood' from the centre of the tree. This makes it ideal for carousel horses as it can stand up to years of 'wear and tear' from people sitting on them.
