Bet you didn't know that tennis was related to physics, now did you?

Well it is...

And here is how.

First let us start with the racket:

• The head of the racket has strings

  -The strings are tightly put in

  because this way when the ball

  hits the "sweet spot" as it is

  called allows the momentum of

  the ball to be greater or weaker.

  • If the ball hits the center of the racket

  head, there is where the greatest momentum

  of the ball is. Also hitting the "sweet

  spot" allows the player to have more

  control over the placement of the ball.

  • There is also a spot on the racket that

  is called the "deadspot". " At the

  deadspot, all of the energy of the

  ball is given to the racquet, and the

  racquet does not give any energy back

  to the ball" (Brody).
