RE: The Magnus Effect Explains The "Weird" Behaviour of a Spinning Ball and "Impossible" Goals in a Football Game

in #stemng8 years ago

The snipers need to consider the Magnus effect while shooting at a long range target. This is because a spinning bullet will encounter a Magnus force which may throw the bullet off course through travel.

At this point, wouldn't it be right to say that our military also needs a lot of scientific training?

Pheww! Science surely does have an explanation for almost everything. Thanks for sharing @greenrun

Snipers may study it under another name. But in training the wind speed, angles of shot plus elevation and distance are important factors for making that shot. Thank you.
