Abstract | A simple experiment for students is to measure the coefficient of restitution (COR) for a vertical bounce on a horizontal surface. In this paper, measurements are presented of the COR for a tennis ball bouncing at an oblique angle on a horizontal surface. Changes in the horizontal and rotation speeds were also measured, by filming the bounce with a video camera. A measurement of this type involves a more extensive examination of basic mechanics, since the friction force acting at the bottom of the ball acts to change both the horizontal speed of the ball and its rotational velocity. The COR for an oblique bounce was found to be larger than that for a vertical bounce and was also found to depend on the incident spin of the ball. (As Provided). |
