Question 1: A student claims that having a backspin on the ball increases the distance travelled by the ball as compared to having a top spin. True or false?
True. Backspin causes the ball to travel further than with having a top spin.
Question 2: Taking the default point of reference from the sim (blue arrow points up, red arrow points towards user, and green arrow towards right of user), how does having a left spin affect the trajectory of the ball?
Ball moves to the right and also away from the user.
Question 3: If a tennis player hit the ball with a certain spin and it reached the ground faster than expected, what type of spin did the ball experience? (assuming the tennis ball in this case is modelled by the same ball in the sim)
Top spin. This exerts a downward force on the ball and thus makes it hit the ground faster.
