The Dependence of Repulsion Tennis Ball from the Air Pressure in it

Journal Title: Journal of Anthropology of Sport and Physical Education - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 4

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the elastic (refl ective) properties of the tennis ball depending on the air pressure in it. The standard tennis ball was released on a fl at, solid surface from a height of nine meters, three times. For a tennis ball pressure was measured based on the time and rebound of the ball after the fi rst, second and third falls. In the fi rst release the air in the ball was under prescribed pressure. After the fi rst release, the pressure in the ball is reduced by the fact that the ball once is stabbed with a hollow medical needle, after the second release, the pressure in the ball is reduced further by the ball being pierced twice with a hollow medical needle. The setting of the experiment was done by fi lming the free fall of the prescribed tennis balls and a series of rebounds after being rejected from a solid surface. It can be concluded that the distance traveled and the total duration of four successive refl ections largely depended on the internal pressure. In this study, the initial tennis ball velocity was unchanged and only internal pressures were changed. It was determined how much the rejection rate was reduced and the duration of the re-acceleration, depending on the reduction of the internal pressure. All in all, it can be concluded that the initial speed of the ball can be increased by increasing the internal pressure in the ball.
