This is an example of:
Newtons First Law AKA Law of Inertia
Newtons Second Law
AKA Law of Force and Acceleration
Newtons Third Law
AKA Law of Action and Reaction
The mass of the ball stays the same (constant). The more force you apply to the ball ( which is the constant mass) the greater the acceleration off the racket until it reaches top speed.
In simple terms.... the harder you hit the ball, the faster it will leave the racket
Newton's First Law
AKA the Law of Inertia
Newton's second Law
AKA the Law of Force and acceleration
Newton's Third Law
AKA the Law of Action and Reaction
The more force used to strike a tennis ball the more reaction force your arm receives from the racket
Newton's First Law
AKA the Law of Inertia
Newton's Second Law
AKA the Law of Force and Acceleration
Newton's Third Law
AKA the Law of Action and Reaction
