Explain why
A spinning cricket ball in air does not follow a parabolic trajectory.
✓

Answer

A spinning cricket ball has two simultaneous motions – rotatory and linear. These two types of motion oppose the effect of each other. This decreases the velocity of air flowing below the ball. Hence, the pressure on the upper side of the ball becomes lesser than that on the lower side. An upward force acts upon the ball. Therefore, the ball takes a curved path. It does not follow a parabolic path.

Prove the result that the velocity v of translation of a rolling body (like a ring, disc, cylinder or sphere) at the bottom of an inclined plane of a height h is given by $\text{v}^2=\frac{2\text{gh}}{\Big(\frac{1+\text{k}^2}{\text{R}^2}\Big)}$ using dynamical consideration (i.e. by consideration of forces and torques).
Note: k is the radius of gyration of the body about its symmetry axis, and R is the radius of the body. The body starts from rest at the top of the plane.
