Image result for explain why a tennis ball struck by a racquet is inelastic
A tennis ball is relatively inelastic compared to a the strings of a tennis racquet. As a result, tennis balls lose energy to dissipative forces when they bounce due to friction between the ball and the court and deforming of the tennis ball itself.
Does anyone know what type of collision occurs when a tennis ball hits a racket. Also predict the motion after the collision.
I talked about how elastic collision is shown when a ball hits a racket and bounces off of it.
but she said I was wrong. She didn't tell me why I was wrong but sheโs making me redo it.
I have no idea what the correct answer is. Can someone please help me
