This short video shows the impulsive force of a tennis ball hitting a hard surface. When viewed in stepped motion, it can also illustrate the transfer of energy between tennis ball and floor as the ball flattens out. It may be run as a simple video in grades 6-10, and also used for computer analysis in introductory physics classrooms.  The video is 12 frames in length and may be viewed in step motion or real-time.  Position and time data may be measured and collected by using video-analysis software.  

This item is part of a larger collection of short physics videos developed by the Rochester Institute of Technology Live Photo Physics Project.
