Best Answer

It all depends on which side you are measuring, the inside or the outside. The inside is shorter than the out because of the thickness of the balls covering. According to Wikipedia a tennis ball is 2.63 in. in diameter. The diameter on the inside will be a little closer to 2.50 in. The thickness of the balls covering is measured millimeters, and I don't know what that would be.

How can you increase the surface to volume ratio of a basketball and a tennis ball?

The tennis ball. But do you know why? The anser to that is in the relationship between the fomula for a shere's volum and that of it's surface area. Area is a radius squared function whereas volume is a radius cubed function.


Which famous tennis player has had tennis elbow?

What joints are used in a tennis serve?

Almost all of your joints are used in tennis, but the main ones in a tennis serve are the knee joints, and elbow joints.


If you toss a ball in the air at what point does it have the most kinetic energy?

As soon as the ball has been released.In this case, the energy starts off purely kinetic; dependent on motion. Once the ball has reached it's highest point, it has converted to potential energy; dependent on height. It then resumes falling back to kinetic energy. This is best shown by a graph of energy over time where Potential energy is a parabola opened down (frown face) and Kinetic energy is a parabola opened up (smiley face).With this you can also note that Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = mechanical energy. These two graphs added together should make a straight line for Mechanical energy (in simplistic demonstration).

Does the rebound height has a constant relationship with the original height of a tennis ball when released from rest and bounces on a bench?

As long as the tennis ball is not thrust downward, yes, the tennis ball will bounce back to the same proportion of its original height, no matter how far it's dropped, as long as the height is small enough that air resistance can be ignored. The ball will eventually come to rest due to this air resistance.


How does the height of the release point affect the height of a tennis ball's rebound?

Does mud on a tennis ball affect the height of its bounce?

not as far as you know is not a good answer because it does not explain. the mud will make the tennis ball heavier and denser if it has water in it the ball heavy wont go far for its bounce.
