The average range of a tennis ball thrown from the ground with a velocity of 15 m/s is approximately 67.5 meters. This assumes no air resistance and a flat, level surface.
Air resistance can greatly decrease the range of a tennis ball thrown from the ground. The drag force from air resistance acts in the opposite direction of the ball's motion, slowing it down and reducing its range. This effect becomes more significant at higher velocities.
The range of a tennis ball thrown from the ground can be influenced by a number of factors, including the initial velocity, angle of throw, air resistance, and surface conditions. Other factors such as humidity, temperature, and altitude can also play a role.
Yes, the range of a tennis ball thrown from the ground can be increased by increasing the initial velocity, throwing at a higher angle, or reducing air resistance. However, there are limits to how much the range can be increased based on the physical capabilities of the thrower and other external factors.
The range of a tennis ball thrown from the ground may vary depending on the specific object and its shape and weight. Generally, a tennis ball will have a shorter range compared to more aerodynamic objects such as a football or a Frisbee. However, it may have a longer range compared to heavier objects with less aerodynamic properties, such as a baseball.
