  • Physics of Tennis Lesson 4 Energy
    The Physics of Tennis Lesson 4: Energy changes when a ball interacts with different surfaces Unit Overview: In this unit students continue to develop understanding of what can be at first glance a complicated system, the game of tennis. In this activity we have taken two components of the game of tennis, the ball and court, to see if we can model the interactions between them. This activity focuses on the energy interactions between ball and court. Objectives: Students will be able to- • Describe what forces interact when the ball hits a surface. • Understand what changes occur when potential and kinetic energy conversion is taking place within a system. At the high school level students should include connections to the concept of “work =FxD” and calculations of Ek = ½ 2 mv and Ep =mgh according to the conservation of energy principal. • Identify the types of energy used in this system. (restricted to potential & kinetic energy) • Comparative relative energy losses for typical court compositions. Lesson Time Required: Four class periods Next Generation Science/Common Core Standards: • NGSS: HS-PS3-1.Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known. • CCSS.Math. Content: 8.F.B.4 Use functions to model relationships between quantities. • Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph.

  • Reducing Injuries by Substantially Decreasing the Likelihood of Long Tennis Matches
    Reducing Injuries by Substantially Decreasing the Likelihood of Long Tennis Matches Dr Tristan Barnett Swinburne University of Technology [email protected] Prof Graham Pollard University of Canberra [email protected] Long matches can cause problems for tournaments. For example, the starting times of subsequent matches can be substantially delayed causing inconvenience to players, spectators, officials and television scheduling. Long matches can even be seen as unfair in the tournament setting when the winner of a very long match, who may have negative after-effects from such a match, plays the winner of an average or shorter length match in the next round. Long matches can also lead to injuries to the participating players. One factor that can lead to long matches is the use of the advantage set as the fifth set, as in the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon. Other factors are long rallies and a greater than average number of points per game. These tend to occur more frequently on the slower court surfaces such as at the French Open. This paper considers two long matches played in grand slam tennis, and shows that the likelihood of long matches can be substantially reduced by using the tiebreak game in the fifth set. It also shows that long matches can be reduced even more effectively by using a new type of game, the 50-40 game, throughout the match. The no-ad game has been used in ATP and ATP Challenger doubles matches since the beginning of 2006. However, the 50-40 game is more effective than the no-ad game in several ways, including in reducing the number of points played in a match.
