Measurements of the Flight Trajectory of a Spinning Soccer Ball and the Magnus Force Acting on It

The trajectory of a soccer ball, kicked with a spin to curve it into the goal, is strongly influenced by aerodynamic factors such as the Magnus force. Several studies using a wind-tunnel and high-speed cameras have investigated the Magnus force acting on a spinning soccer ball. However, the exact ef...
