Why does a frisbee fly further when rotating?
A frisbee flies further when rotating due to the stabilization provided by its spin, which creates gyroscopic stability. This spin helps maintain its orientation in the air, reducing the effects of aerodynamic drag and allowing it to cut through the air more efficiently. Additionally, the rotation generates lift by creating differences in air pressure above and below the disc, enhancing its flight distance. Overall, the combination of stability and lift from rotation contributes significantly to a frisbee's performance in the air.
