Physics Of How Ball Is Bowled In Cricket.



Now that I have already explained to you guys about the physics behind the "cricket ball" I wanted to go more in detail into the cricket ball itself and how it's not the ball that most of you think it is.  This is related to physics because in my previous project I explained to you guys about the  "Magnus Effect".  However, the Magnus effect won't be as effective if it weren't for the shape, size and design of the ball.  As you can see its much harder and heavier than it seems.  That is why I consider it as "sport of the brave" because it's very easy to die to that ball if it were to hit any vital spots on our body.  Some professional players can actually master the Magnus effect to the point where they can abuse it to throw some of these deadly balls intentionally. Magnus effect can also be very powerful when there is a strong wind that is pushing the balls towards the person that is hitting the ball.  In the cricket scene, many people look at this as a negative, but some also look at it as a deadly skill that can help them achieve their goal to "win".

  1. I like how much information and visuals you put in your project. The fact that you demonstrated with a ball in person was a good touch. Overall the project was nicely done and presented.
