Hello people, I need some help~~~
I was given a physics project…and well, I have done my research and such, and this is what i hav come up with…
Find and article on Frisbee, and in point form explain how you think the frisbee works.
My answer:
1.You throw the frisbee
2.It spins
3.The spin forces the air around it
to move differently from the top as to the bottom.
5.Maintaining a positive angle of attack, the air
moving over the top of the frisbee is faster than
the air underneath.
6.Which therefore means that there is a lower air
pressure on top of the frisbee than beneath it
Which therefore generates a lift and flies
Onwards
7.The spin gives it orientational stability
8. There fore the faster the momentum of the spin, the more stable the frisbee, the less like it will tumble.
The next question asks how does the radius, weight affect how far it flies, I hav no clue, can some one help me???
thanks
PS: I am only in Grd 9 
"As you begin to move a Frisbee forward, the air in front of the Frisbee splits to flow either over the Frisbee or under it. Because of the Frisbee’s shape and the angle at which it’s held, the air that flows over the Frisbee has a longer distance to travel and arrives late at the back of the Frisbee. The air flowing under the Frisbee reaches the back first and initially flows upward, around the rear surface of the Frisbee. But once the Frisbee is moving fairly rapidly, this funny upward-flowing tail of air blows away from the back of the Frisbee. As it leaves, it draws the air flowing over the Frisbee with it and speeds that air up. As a result, the air over the Frisbee travels faster than the air under the Frisbee. But the airs above and below the Frisbee have the same amounts of total energy per gram. Since the faster moving air above the Frisbee has more kinetic energy than the slower moving air below the Frisbee, the air above the Frisbee must have less of some other form of energy than the air below the Frisbee. In fact, the air above the Frisbee has less pressure potential energy than the air below it–the air pressure above the Frisbee is less than that below the Frisbee. And since the pressure pushing on the bottom surface of the Frisbee is greater than the pressure pushing on the top surface of the Frisbee, there is a net upward pressure force on the Frisbee. This upward pressure force balances the downward weight of the Frisbee and keeps the Frisbee from falling."
