Once the ball reaches the ground friction acts as an unbalance force and slows the ball down and eventually put it to a stop. When the ball is still, there are unbalanced forces acting upon it, so it will not move unless it is affected by an outside force or unbalanced force.
Newtons second law F=mxa which is force times acceleration, meaning acceleration equals force/mass. The effect of any force depends on the size of the force and the weight of the object its acts on.
When force is applied to the ball through the racket is pushes through gravity to the other court.
Newtons third law of motion, or the law of action reaction, states “every action has an equal and opposite reaction.”
This is shown in tennis because when the ball hits the ground the reaction given by the ground causes the ball to fly into the air, hit the ground, and bounce up again. In that scenario, the ball hitting the ground is the action force, while the ball bouncing up is the reaction force.
To improve my serves and shots I should:
Make sure your racket head is slanted slightly forward on impact for a topspin and slanted backwards for a backspin. The angle at which the racket head is slanted depends on your grip.
The back-swing is vital for generating topspin or backspin of the
