𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲: can you hold the ball in an airflow and land it into the basket? That the air pushes the ball forward and balances gravity is not surprising—BORING! But why doesn’t it fall when you tilt the leaf blower? Bernoulli's principle! As the ball moves away from the center of the stream, its outer side experiences higher pressure than the inner side, which is closer to the center of the flow. The resulting force from high to low pressure keeps the ball in the stream until you tilt it too much and gravity wins. Hold it in the stream until it is RIGHT over the basket and score!
