People used to think curve balls were just an
illusion. But thanks to technology and the
science of physics, we now know that a
baseball actually does curve, as much as 18
inches, when thrown by a skilled pitcher.

Topspin makes the top of the
baseball spin in the opposite
direction to the air moving
over the ball’s surface,
creating wind resistance.
Pitchers can throw several kinds of pitches to confuse
the batter. Do the math to discover which is which.

Wind resistance creates higher air
pressure above the ball which
pushes against the ball, making it
fly in a curved flight path.
