The Magnus force is a special force that acts on spinning objects moving through a fluid, such as air or water. When an object spins, it creates an area of high pressure on one side and an area of low pressure on the other side. This causes the object to be pushed perpendicular to its direction of motion. This can be seen in sports like baseball, tennis, and soccer, where players can curve the trajectory of the ball by applying a spin. This is why when you throw a spinning ball or frisbee, it curves in the air. The Magnus effect is also used in some engineering applications, such as wind turbines and helicopter rotors.
