Coefficient of Restitution of Wet Tennis Balls [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Scholastic Journal of Science, 2014
The coefficient of restitution of a damp tennis ball is of interest to tennis players. Using a spray bottle, water was added to a tennis ball and the mass of water on the wet ball was determined. The ball was then dropped from a fixed height of 0.86 m.

Origins of Wetting [PDF]

open access: yesLangmuir, 2016
This feature article provides an overview of wetting phenomena. Much of the analysis done on wetting in the last 100 years assumes that the phenomena are determined by molecular interactions within the interfacial area between the liquid and solid. However, there is now ample evidence that wetting is controlled by interactions in the vicinity of the ...
