  1. Projectile Motion

  2. Projectiles • Four factors affect flight: • Height of release • Angle of release • Speed of release • Spin

  3. Spin 1. Top spin- distance is decreased with topspin. 2. Back spin- distance is increased with backspin. 3. Side Spin- cause the ball to hook or slice. Due to the spin creating an area of low and high pressure around the object.

  4. As air smashes into the front of the ball, the dimples trap air into them and drag more of the air up and over the top of the ball than what passes underneath the ball. This creates a low-pressure area on top of the ball. Low pressure on top of something (like an airplane wing) creates lift.
