Bernoulli’s theorem
A curve ball’s path bends to the right as it flies towards home plate because it experiences an aerodynamic force to its right . One reason the ball is experiencing this aerodynamic lift force is that the ball is spinning , and that spinexerts a torque on the ball that causes its angular momentum to shift towards the left .
causes the air to flow more rapidly around the right side of the ball than around the left side of the ball .
