Baseball homerun hitters like to play in Denver, but curveballpitchers do not. Why?

Physics
1 answer:
pishuonlain [190]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Because of height and lower atmospheric pressure.

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure affects aerodynamic drag, lower pressure means less drag. At the altitude of Denver the air has lower pressure, this allows baseball players to hit balls further away.

Another aerodynamic effect is the Magnus effect. This effect causes spinning objects to curve their flightpath, which is what curveball pitchers do. A lower atmospheric pressure decreases the curving of the ball's trajectory.
