Tennis Speed Power Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter your serve velocity in miles per hour (mph)
2. Enter the impact force in pounds (lbs)
3. The ball mass is pre-filled with the standard 58.6g, but you can adjust if needed
4. Click the "Calculate" button to see the estimated ball speed
5. The result will be displayed in both miles per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour (km/h)

Working Principle

This calculator estimates the ball speed based on the serve velocity and impact force. The formula used is a simplified model that combines the kinetic energy from the serve velocity and the additional energy from the impact force, factoring in the mass of the tennis ball.

The formula is: Ball Speed (mph) = √[(Serve Velocity² + Impact Force * 0.5) * Ball Mass factor]

Where:
- Serve Velocity: The speed of the serve in miles per hour
- Impact Force: The force applied during impact in pounds
- Ball Mass factor: A conversion factor based on the standard mass of a tennis ball (58.6g)

Applications

This calculator can be used by tennis players and coaches to estimate the potential speed of their serves based on different serving techniques and impact forces. It helps in understanding how different factors affect the ball speed.
