Put a Spin On It
| Division: | International | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Waterloo-Wellington | | City: | Waterloo, ON | | School: | St. John's-Kilmarnock School | | Abstract: | Four kinds of balls were spun at various rates and exposed to varying wind speeds. The pressure differential between opposite sides of each ball was measured. As the rate of spin increased, the pressure differential increased. As the wind speed increased, the pressure differential increased quadratically. |
