Question for:
What is the name of the effect, named after a German physicist who first described it in 1852, that describes what happens when one drops a spinning ball from a great height. In this situation, the ball curves due to changes in air pressure as a result of the spinning object. The spin creates differences in air pressure on opposite sides of the object. The side that moves in the same direction as the spin experiences lower air pressure, while the opposite side experiences higher pressure.
