Developed for commercial distribution by Wham-O in the late 1950s, Frisbees were a have-to possession for a good portion of American children and teens by the early 1960s (Newtons
Apple, 2008). While all appreciated the toys aeronautical capabilities, few considered just why it was that a Frisbee could fly. The answer to that question, however, lies in
physics. The simple answer to the question presented above is that Frisbees fly because of the way they are shaped and because of
the way they are flung by those that are playing with them. The resulting flight is affected significantly, however, by the environmental conditions that are in force during the
flight. The more complex answer to the question of why a Frisbee flies, as might be expected, takes into consideration each of these things but describes them with terminology
that includes such phrases and words as "force", "angular momentum", "lift", and "gravity". Interestingly, one of the primary factors that influence
a Frisbees flight was described long before the invention of this popular toy. Isaac Newton himself, in fact, is to be credited with explaining the mechanism of universal motion
as it relates to gravity in the 1600s. Newtons theories demonstrated the factors of the universe that relate to one another as a result of natural attraction, a relations
that can be more precisely described using a mathematical formula to contend that "the gravitational attraction of two bodies is equal to the product of their mass divided by the
square of the distance between them" (Hodges, 2008). This formula, of course, relates not just to planetary movement but to every bit of matter, Frisbees included. There are
