@kylamb8@bigten Good point. Could it be then that the logic driving the stadium clock is wrong? It’s the best explanation as to why the game clock and the review clock differ by 1 second even though they were both reset to 0:09 prior to the last play.
@kylamb8@bigten One explanation could be NBC’s seconds rounding logic is incorrect. It should be set to round fractional seconds UP, but NBC’s display might be truncating them. This seems plausible when you watch the final play and see it go from 0:09 to 0:08 instantly.
@JCarmichael024@ManyMen92611@EaglesXsandOs@JefePil Correct. When flipping end over end, it’s impossible to have magnus effect. Each 180 degree flip, the spin switches direction relative to air, so it cancels out. Besides this, you can’t have sufficient spin since gyroscopic forces would resist flipping. Can’t have spin and flip.
@JCarmichael024@ManyMen92611@EaglesXsandOs@JefePil This thinking is precisely why I said “mostly incorrect”. The spin itself is not causing any of the curve. Not that the ball barely makes more than one spin revolution through the entire flight. That is negligible and much different than what is seen in golf, baseball, etc.
@HughieNeutron@JefePil You seem to have this backwards. The ball moves AWAY from the side with the laces. Watch the video very slowly and you’ll see the flight perfectly demonstrates this effect.
@HughieNeutron@JefePil Not really sure what point you’re making here. Yes, the laces slowly rotate to the other side. But while they are on one side of the ball, they have the effect of pushing the ball, similar to a wiffle ball thrown with holes on one side. Absolutely causation that can be proven.
@EaglesXsandOs@JefePil The gyroscopic spin is what causes the position of the laces to change while the ball travels, so in that regard you are correct. However, your answer fails to recognize the most important aspect of the physics, which is the location of the laces.
@EaglesXsandOs@JefePil Mostly incorrect. The orientation of the laces is the main factor. Laces on the left side of ball creates additional drag (more pressure) that pushes the ball right. Laces on the right side pushes the ball left. You can clearly see laces left early and right late.
I don’t think many people realize how much the wind killed @buttkicker7’s field goal last night. He used every bit of his leg to get it there. This was my view of the field goal last night to send us to the Super Bowl @Chiefs#BringItHome#ChiefsKingdom
