  • 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.

  • Behind the Blinds Hides Althea Gibson. Friends Say She's Ill, Poor and Embarrassed
    A tennis champ shuts herself away - Behind the blinds hides Althea Gibson. Friends say she's ill, poor and embarrassed The Star-Ledger, (Newark, NJ) - Sunday, August 31, 1997 By Amy Ellis Nutt , FOR THE STAR-LEDGER They stood in a single line stretching across both center court and the generations - 38 former U.S. Open champions, on hand to help dedicate the new Arthur Ashe Stadium at the National Tennis Center in New York. The announcer called it the greatest assembly of tennis talent ever. As the names of the champions were called out Monday night, photos of each one - some suddenly young again - flashed on the giant TV screen atop the stadium. Laver and Rosewall, Navratilova and Evert, McEnroe and Lendl . octogenerian Don Budge . Margaret Court . Billie Jean King . The names floated down, pages of tennis history were turned. But when the name of Althea Gibson - a two-time Open champ and the first black person to win the tournament - rang out, the applause in the packed stadium washed down on no one. Althea Gibson, conspicuous in her absence. Just 30 miles away, Gibson, who had turned 70 that day, was at home in New Jersey watching the ceremony on TV. Bruce Levy, assistant director of communications for the United States Tennis Association, said Gibson turned down an invitation to attend. "She told a member of my staff who called that she was too ill," Levy said last week, "and that she preferred not to be seen in public." The show simply went on without her. Althea Gibson won the U.S.
