Fascinating (to me) Fun Football Fact: If you throw a perfect spiral, with high arc, aerodynamics will force a football, initially pitched upwards, to change angle after reaching its peak height, and pitch downward on arrival into the arms of the pass receiver. https://t.co/MR880pL5Ci — PolitiTweet.org

Not that anybody asked, but the Raymond James Stadium, home to #SuperBowl LV, is oriented precisely north-south in the Northern Hemisphere. This means the Coriolis Force from Earth’s rotation will deflect any 50-yard kick, nearly 1/2 inch to the right. I’m just sayin’. — PolitiTweet.org

@deepbluecea @SkyeHawk11 Thanks. I originally solved this only for the N-S case. And in retrospect, should not have issued that constraint in my tweet. — PolitiTweet.org
