Isaac Newton.



Who discovered the magnus effect?

100

The Magnus Effect.

What makes a ball curve?

100

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.

What is Newton's first law of physics?
100

Roberto Carlos.

Who is most known to have used the Magnus effect in soccer?

200

Heinrich Gustav Magnus.



Who is the Magnus effect named after?

200

When the air is spinning in the same direction of the ball on one side, and the opposite on the other.

What is the Magnus Effect?

200

Yes. Newton's first law is important to the Magnus effect.

Does Newton's first law of physics apply to the Magnus effect?

200

On June 3, 1997.

When was the impossible goal made?

300

Because Heinrich "officially" studied it, while Isaac Newton only came up with the idea.

Why is the Magnus effect named after Heinrich Magnus?



300

Yes, in fact, it happens in pretty much all sports including a ball.

Dose the Magnus effect happen to other sports balls?

300

60-80 Miles per hour.

What is the average speed needed to make a soccer ball curve?

300
The Brazil team.

What team was Roberto Carlos on?

The France team.

What team was the Brazil team going against when Roberto Carlos made his impossible goal?

500

He discovered it while watching a tennis game.

What was Isaac Newton doing when he discovered the Magnus effect?

500

No, because of friction.

Can a soccer ball move indefinitely? Why or why not?

500

Clockwise.

Did Roberto make the ball spin clockwise, or counterclockwise?

500

Yes. In fact, players often attempt the Magnus effect when doing unassisted corner kicks.
