A tennis ball (typical mass 57.5 g) flying through the air may be affected by air resistance. The drag force applied to the ball can be
approximated as:
F
drag
C₁pAv²
Where:
Fdrag Drag force (N)
Cd = Coefficient of drag, which for a tennis ball is around 0.55
p = The density of air, which at ground level at 25°C is around 1.2
A = The presented area of the tennis ball in the direction of travel, around 3500 mm²
v = The velocity (by convention in the positive direction) in m/s
(a) Draw a free-body diagram of the tennis ball during flight, including air resistance. Also include a separate vector showing the direction
of travel (v) at an arbitrary angle (theta) from horizontal.
(b) Write Newton's second law for the x and y directions, and from this state the first-order differential equations (in each coordinate) that
govern the motion of the tennis ball
The tennis ball is at a vertical height of 1.4 m above the ground when it is struck with a racquet. The initial velocity as it leaves the…
