Sweetspot • The sweetspot is the area of a racquet which yields the most return and produces the best feel. • There are three known sweetspots.
Energy • Energy is the conserved property of objects that can neither be created nor destroyed. • It is a scalar quantity and it is represented by the symbol E. • Examples of some forms of energy are kinetic, potential, heat, sound, electrical energy, etc.
Kinetic Energy • Kinetic energy is the energy a particle associated with its motion. • It is a scalar quantity; it depends only on the particle’s mass and speed, not its direction of motion.
Potential Energy • Potential energy also known as gravitational potential energy. • It is defined as the energy of a particle associated with the position of a system rather than its motion. U = mgh
Conservation Of Energy • The basic principle of conservation of energy is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one state to another. Etotal = Einitial = Efinal Einitial = Ki + Ui Efinal = Kf + Uf + Energy loss
