Physics In Tennis

Tennis is a sport that can be played individually with a single opponent (singles), or with 2 players on either side of the court (doubles). The jist of the game is to hit the tennis ball back and forth from either side of the court until someone makes an error.

 

Although, the question is, what seperates some of the worlds top players from the rest? 

 

Surprisingly enough, aside from effort, and talent, Physics may be the crucial deciding factor between you and the worlds best players.

Physics Applied in Tennis

Scientists have proven physics to be an integral part of tennis. For years now we have noticed the influence of kinematics, energy, forces and the implications of Newtons Laws in tennis among various other sports. 

 

Our speed, force, energy, and distance etc. are all taken into account when identifying the physics behind this age old sport.

 

So take a trip through the pages to understand exactly how much physics impacts our game and future as an athlete.
