How does temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball My science fair project is about tennis balls and temperature. I chose this topic because I am interested in how temperature affects how high a tennis ball bounces. When the ball hits the floor it expands and when it comes up then it comes back up it contrasts. My question that is going to be answered is,how does temperature affect the bounce of a tennis ball? The independent variable is temperature. Temperature is either something that is
determine at what rate does an object (tennis ball) fall at, and to see and determine if the initial vertical velocity affect this rate. The variables of the experiment were as follow: time [s] as the independent variable, position [m] as the dependent variable and the airflow of the room and the timer were the control variables. Using the tennis ball and other materials listed above, we found that as the tennis ball falls it does at a rate of rate of the ball -10.20m/s2 in the first part of the experiment
This past week, I have done two activities: volunteering at a nursing home and playing tennis with my club tennis team. Both of these activities brought me great joy, yet the experiences of pain and satisfaction from the two differ in many ways. When I woke up early on Saturday morning to get ready for volunteering, I felt tired from a weeklong sleep deprivation. For 10 minutes, sitting on my bed, I was contemplating on whether I should just tell my co-leader that I was sick and cannot come that

A New Academy Tennis balls are being hit from left to right, sweat is dripping from all parts of my body, everyone on the team is making an effort to win the game, and everyone else on the team is depending on me for the last point of the game. My opponent hits me a short slow ball and I strike the ball as hard as I can into the right corner of the court for the game winner. The other guy tries his hardest to get the ball back in play but the ball flies out of bounds. The smiling faces of my
friends, Neil, decides to be the one to light it. Once the tennis ball is drenched in gasoline, he takes a hand lighter to make it catch fire. It took him a few tries but he finally got it. We were pretty amazed of what we were doing so we really didn’t know what to do with it. Then, one of my friends decides to kick it and that’s how it all started. We were pretty much playing soccer with a tennis ball on fire. Not thinking whatsoever, the ball was being kicked into people’s yards and just getting out
call tennis is the immediate relative of what is presently known as genuine tennis or imperial tennis (which keeps on being played today as a different game with more mind boggling tenets). A large portion of the principles of the diversion ordinarily known as tennis get from genuine or regal tennis. It is sensible to see both games as varieties of the same amusement. Most students of history trust that tennis started in the ascetic groups in northern France in the twelfth century, yet the ball was
of ball affect how far it rolls when rolled down a ramp? The hypothesis for this experiment was “If the different types of balls are rolled down a ramp, then the soccer ball will roll the farthest.” The independent variable, the variable that was intentionally changed, were the types of balls. The distance each ball rolled is the dependent variable. The experimental group includes the soccer ball, the basketball, the tennis ball, the golf ball, the marble, the baseball, and the ping pong ball. The
BREATHING AND GRUNTING IN TENNIS Monica Seles, Jimmy Connors, Serena or Venus Williams, Rafa Nadal, Maria Sharapova and so many other awesome players, as well as thousands of martial arts enthusiasts and professionals could not possibly be wrong in their breathing/Screaming/Grunting techniques. As we wind up our body and racquet to make a hard hit, we inhale deeply, and as we make contact with the ball, we exhale hard, creating a sort of explosion. Grunting in Tennis helps time impact, as well as
all of the Frisco Independent School District tennis teams face off to see who will be the best in singles and doubles. The weather is nice and it will quickly rise to the mid-90s. I cannot wait to get to school to see my team mates and play my final match for Wakeland High School Tennis team. I have been preparing for this match for seven years, without realizing the full affects. It all started on the second week of seventh grade, I had joined tennis as my physical education credit because I did
doubles at professional tennis tournament” 1. The article introduces the reader to the general topic in the first sentence by stating statistical data. This data is about the percentage of serve shot used in the game compared to all shots used in the game of tennis. I think this is a good way to attract attention of the reader because statistics highlight the fact about importance of the serve to a tennis player. 2. Problem is stated as it affects all of the women tennis players. Women’s serve does
I used to poke fun at tennis, moving my head from side to side, mimicking the motion of watching a tennis match. I honestly thought it to be boring and wondered “how hard could it be to hit the ball over the net”? I discovered that tennis is not only an amazing sport, it’s a sport that can last a lifetime, from childhood to adulthood and my two children are great examples. For our family, tennis began as summer entertainment for my two children. Instead of bumming around summer break, watching
our first tennis match of the 2014-2015 season against Wilsonville. We were sitting on the bleachers next to the tennis courts waiting for our match to be called up. This was my first year playing tennis and didn’t know much, but I felt confident about this match knowing that playing over the summer was enough practice. The tennis courts were always gorgeous at this time of the day. I remember when the courts used to have a ton of dirt around it. It looked like a desert. After the tennis courts were
Andre Agassi was one of the best tennis players in the world and one of the players who really has dominated the sport. In 2009 he wrote his autobiography Open in which we hear about his childhood, how his father immigrated to the USA and how he was forced to play tennis by his dad. We hear about many different relationships in this autobiography especially between Andre and his parents, between him and his uncle and how his grandmother affected the family life. Andre is not very fond of his grandmother
Hello, I am the number one girl’s tennis player at Pinellas Park High School and I would like to inform you about what had happen on March 9, 2017, against a match at Lakewood High School. In the beginning of my singles match I was up by 4-0 and my opponent became to act aggravated with herself, until her coach stood by the fence to watch our match. He would then have a long chat with her in a quietly manner as if he was coaching her because I had over heard some of the words that he was telling

They jump over hurdles and tires, through hoops, all while catching tennis balls. It’s all pretty fun for both the
Tennis is a great sport that is played with two or four players that strike a ball with a racket over a net stretched across a court. The usual form of tennis is played with a felt-covered hollow rubber ball on a grass, clay, or artificial surface(hardcourts). Tennis not only requires strategy, strength, and fast reflexes it also matters how you wield your racket. It is not as simple as hitting the ball, but which spot on the racket is used to strike the ball. Depending on the ball, there are different
Power tennis racquets enable players hit the ball with less effort but more aggressively. Therefore, these types of tennis racquets are often categorized and recommended for those players who have not yet developed the proper technique, skill and form to help them generate their own power. Their features include: large in length, an oversized head, stiff frame and lighter construction. An oversized head often works well because the bigger the head the more power the racquet will provide. The bigger
Profile of a Discourse Community Girl’s Tennis is a hidden gem at Sterling High School in Somerdale, New Jersey. The tennis courts are located on the far side of the school, so the team is physically isolated from where the rest of the fall sports play. The team receives little public attention and as a result, the tennis program receives less funding than the more popular soccer or football programs. Perhaps this is because of stereotypes around the sport. Tennis is regarded as a “noncompetitive” and
forget the time I tried out for the high school tennis team. It was spring of freshman year when I decided to pursue tennis. I attended a few tennis camps in the past and didn’t have much experience in the sport. I desired to be a part of a school team and tennis seemed to interest me. To strengthen my skills in the sport, I started to take lessons from a professional tennis instructor named Don Henson. I trained and played tennis every week at my local tennis courts. The sport was fun and I found myself
