112-476: Ten clubs participate in the GNEFA across various divisions and age groups for men, women, boys and girls. Shepparton Shepparton once had former Cambridge Utd player Michael Kyd play a guest stint at the club. Shepparton is the GNEFA's most successful senior club, having won eight premierships as Lemnos and six as Shepparton for a total of 14. Shepparton home games are played at Vibert Reserve. The club forms

224-406: A 1–1 draw with Yoogali in the grand final at Tatura Park. Yoogali protested the result and had a replay ordered after their protest was upheld by a league tribunal. Shepparton then had the decision reversed at another appeal tribunal and was authorised as competition premier Shepparton won the minor premiership with 46 competition points to Yoogali's 44. Yoogali won the qualifying final to advance to

336-419: A component parallel to the surface, which would contribute to friction, and thus contribute to rotation. In racquet sports such as table tennis or racquetball , skilled players will use spin (including sidespin ) to suddenly alter the ball's direction when it impacts surface, such as the ground or their opponent's racquet . Similarly, in cricket , there are various methods of spin bowling that can make

448-444: A deal being struck with HM Revenue and Customs at the eleventh hour after the intervention of then sports minister Richard Caborn . Cambridge had sold their Abbey Stadium home earlier in the season for £1.9 million to keep the club afloat. On the eve of the 2006–07 season, it was announced that former Norwich City striker Lee Power would be the club's new chairman taking over from Brian Attmore's caretaking reign. Johnny Hon

Cambridge Fans United is an independent supporters group who are now a significant shareholder in the club with representation on

672-573: A higher level (recent examples include John Ruddy , Michael Morrison and Josh Simpson ). Wales international Jack Collison was in the youth squads for several years before joining West Ham United 's youth academy after the centre closed down following relegation to the Conference Premier . The youth team won their division of the Football League Youth Alliance in both 2003–04 and 2004–05 , showing

784-402: A playoff place. The following season, on 6 January 2011, with Cambridge in a similar position to where they finished the previous season, the club's owners put the club up for sale citing the need for new funds to take the club forward. Despite interest being expressed from a number of parties, no new owner has yet been found. Later the same month, the club's landlords Grosvenor Group revealed

896-523: A real ball, namely the gravitational force ( F G ), the drag force due to air resistance ( F D ), the Magnus force due to the ball's spin ( F M ), and the buoyant force ( F B ). In general, one has to use Newton's second law taking all forces into account to analyze the ball's motion: where m is the ball's mass. Here, a , v , r represent the ball's acceleration , velocity , and position over time t . The gravitational force

1008-533: A save from South goalkeeper Robbie Taylor from Tatura's Cody Sellwood in the last minute of extra time. Taylor saved one penalty in the shoot-out and Tatura missed another kick, while South scored all four of its penalties. Shepparton South were minor premiers with 34 points from Tatura (28), Shepparton (27) and Cobram Victory (22). Shepparton 4 d Victory 2 in elimination final, Shepparton South 0 lt Tatura 1 in qualifying final, Shepparton South 1 d Shepparton 0 in prelim final. Best and fairest and competition top scorer

1120-759: A successful run in the Football League Trophy which saw them reach the final which they lost 1–4 to Blackpool at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff . In 2005, after 35 years in the Football League, Cambridge United were relegated into the Football Conference . This brought with it financial difficulties and the club filed for administration on 29 April. On 22 July 2005 the club came out of administration with

1344-414: A terrible season in 1983–84 (setting a league record for most successive games without a win, 31, which was surpassed by Derby County in 2008 ) was followed by a further relegation in 1984–85 (equalling the then league record for most losses in a season, 33). These successive relegations, which also had a negative effect on the club's attendances as well as its finances, placed Cambridge United back in

1456-445: A total of 29. Women's premiers were Shepparton United after a 3–0 penalty shoot-out win against Cobram after a 1–1 draw in the grand final. United needed a late equaliser from competition top scorer Jess Theobald to send the game into extra time after trailing 1–0 for most of the game. The Blues had won the minor premiership with 60 points from Cobram on 43. Competition best-and-fairest was Georgia Oudeman of Cobram Victory Top scorer

1568-541: A women's team but does not have a men's division one team. Kyabram's home colours are orange and black. Benalla Benalla competed in Albury Wodonga Football Association from 1994 to 2008 before re-affiliating with the GNEFA in time for the 2009 season. Hanwood Hanwood left the GNEFA citing a player numbers shortage and a lack of commitment to travelling three hours from Griffith to Shepparton for away games. The club officially left

1680-440: Is an affiliated women's team called Cambridge United W.F.C. . Bouncing ball The physics of a bouncing ball concerns the physical behaviour of bouncing balls , particularly its motion before, during, and after impact against the surface of another body . Several aspects of a bouncing ball's behaviour serve as an introduction to mechanics in high school or undergraduate level physics courses. However,

1792-470: Is better described by where ρ is the density of air, C L the lift coefficient , A the cross-sectional area of the ball, and v the velocity of the ball relative to air. The lift coefficient is a complex factor which depends amongst other things on the ratio rω / v , the Reynolds number, and surface roughness . In certain conditions, the lift coefficient can even be negative, changing

1904-452: Is directed downwards and is equal to where m is the mass of the ball, and g is the gravitational acceleration , which on Earth varies between 9.764  m/s and 9.834 m/s . Because the other forces are usually small, the motion is often idealized as being only under the influence of gravity. If only the force of gravity acts on the ball, the mechanical energy will be conserved during its flight. In this idealized case,

2016-400: Is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In the case of a sphere, this force is equal to The buoyant force is usually small compared to the drag and Magnus forces and can often be neglected. However, in the case of a basketball, the buoyant force can amount to about 1.5% of the ball's weight. Since buoyancy is directed upwards, it will act to increase the range and height of

2128-479: Is even possible for the COR to be greater than 1, or for the forward velocity of the ball to increase upon impact. A popular demonstration involves the bounce of multiple stacked balls. If a tennis ball is stacked on top of a basketball, and the two of them are dropped at the same time, the tennis ball will bounce much higher than it would have if dropped on its own, even exceeding its original release height. The result

2240-431: Is involved. For a straight drop on the ground with no rotation, with only the force of gravity acting on the ball, the COR can be related to several other quantities by: Here, K and U denote the kinetic and potential energy of the ball, H is the maximum height of the ball, and T is the time of flight of the ball. The 'i' and 'f' subscript refer to the initial (before impact) and final (after impact) states of

2352-409: Is surprising as it apparently violates conservation of energy. However, upon closer inspection, the basketball does not bounce as high as it would have if the tennis ball had not been on top of it, and transferred some of its energy into the tennis ball, propelling it to a greater height. The usual explanation involves considering two separate impacts: the basketball impacting with the floor, and then

2464-454: Is theoretically possible, but would indicate that the ball went through the surface ( e < 0 ), or that the surface was not "relaxed" when the ball impacted it ( e > 1 ), like in the case of a ball landing on spring-loaded platform. To analyze the vertical and horizontal components of the motion, the COR is sometimes split up into a normal COR ( e y ), and tangential COR ( e x ), defined as where r and ω denote

2576-508: The 2014 play-off final . After spending seven seasons in League Two , Cambridge United were promoted to League One as runners-up, in 2021, under Mark Bonner . Although the club has traditionally worn amber and black at home, it has experimented with a number of designs of shirts including plain amber with black trim, amber and black squares, stripes, and amber with a black sash. The club had close links with Cambridge Regional College ,

Others include Dion Dublin , who went on to score 119 Premier League goals and receive four England caps, and Luke Berry , cult hero who finished as United’s top scorer in various seasons and recently played for Luton Town in

3024-620: The Football League in 2005, Cambridge United entered a reserve team in the Football Combination . However, this ceased following financial difficulties which meant the club could not guarantee being able to put out a team for every game. In 2006 United formed Cambridge Regional College as a de facto reserve team and entered them in the Eastern Counties League Premier Division. FA rules prohibit reserve teams playing at certain levels of

3136-695: The Fourth Division in 1972–73, but suffered immediate relegation. They won the Fourth Division title in 1976–77, and then secured promotion out of the Third Division the following season. They remained in the Second Division for six seasons, before they suffered consecutive relegations. Manager John Beck led United to promotion out of the Fourth Division via play-offs in 1990 and then the Third Division title in 1990–91, with

3472-534: The Abbey Stadium ended in a goalless draw, forcing a replay at Old Trafford , which Manchester United won 3–0. In the league, Cambridge finished 19th with 51 points, 10 points above the relegation zone. The following season started poorly, and Richard Money was sacked in November 2015, to be replaced by Shaun Derry who would lead Cambridge to a 9th-place finish. In the 2019–20 season, Mark Bonner

3584-542: The Abbey Stadium with chairman. The Stadium was sold by Bideawhile to Grosvenor Estates in June 2010. Soon after, the new landlords, in combination with the club and supporters group Cambridge Fans United , announced that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to positively work together to achieve the relocation of the club to a new stadium. In January 2011, plans for a new community stadium were unveiled at an open meeting, including potential new locations both within

3696-540: The Abbey district of Cambridge. A club called Cambridge United existed in Cambridge from 1909, but it was not linked to the club that exists today. The club played in local amateur leagues for many of its early years, moving from ground to ground around Cambridge (see Stadium below) before settling at the Abbey Stadium . In 1949 the club turned professional, and changed its name to Cambridge United in 1951. They played in

Drag will cause the ball to lose mechanical energy during its flight, and will reduce its range and height, while crosswinds will deflect it from its original path. Both effects have to be taken into account by players in sports such as golf. The spin of

4144-593: The WCSC decided that their future lied in the border based competition of the Albury Wodonga Soccer Association. The club was granted access in 1977. The Wangaratta Club has grown to be the largest single sporting club in the City, fielding 15 teams each Sunday and had one of the largest stand alone mini roos programs in the state. Shepparton won the 2007 men's premiership on penalties 8–7 after

4368-555: The appointment of Ron Atkinson as manager, Cambridge United won successive promotions which took them into the Second Division in 1978 – a mere eight years after joining the Football League. Atkinson had gone to West Bromwich Albion , a First Division club, in January 1978, and was succeeded by John Docherty , who oversaw the second promotion. Cambridge United peaked at eighth place in the Second Division in 1980. However,

The bounce of an oval-shaped ball (such as those used in gridiron football or rugby football ) is in general much less predictable than the bounce of a spherical ball. Depending on the ball's alignment at impact, the normal force can act ahead or behind the centre of mass of the ball, and friction from the ground will depend on the alignment of

4704-455: The ball had crossed the line. Shepparton United had won the minor premiership with 34 points from South on 32, Shepparton on 30 and Tatura on 24. Tatura eliminated Shepparton on penalties in the first week of finals, while United advanced to the grand final with a 1–0 extra-time win against Shepparton South in week two. South defeated Tatura 1–0 in the preliminary final to set up the grand final re-match against United. Competition best and fairest

4816-407: The ball to the left . Additionally, if the ball is spinning at impact, friction will have a "rotational" component in the direction opposite to the ball's rotation. On the figure, the ball is spinning clockwise, and the point impacting the ground is moving to the left with respect to the ball's center of mass . The rotational component of friction is therefore pushing the ball to the right . Unlike

4928-520: The ball will affect its trajectory through the Magnus effect . According to the Kutta–Joukowski theorem , for a spinning sphere with an inviscid flow of air, the Magnus force is equal to where r is the radius of the ball, ω the angular velocity (or spin rate) of the ball, ρ the density of air, and v the velocity of the ball relative to air. This force is directed perpendicular to

Where the forces act with respect to the centre of mass of the ball changes as the ball rolls on the ground, and all forces can exert a torque on the ball, including the normal force and the force of gravity. This can cause the ball to bounce forward, bounce back, or sideways. Because it is possible to transfer some rotational kinetic energy into translational kinetic energy, it

5152-479: The ball. When a ball impacts a surface, the surface recoils and vibrates , as does the ball, creating both sound and heat , and the ball loses kinetic energy . Additionally, the impact can impart some rotation to the ball, transferring some of its translational kinetic energy into rotational kinetic energy . This energy loss is usually characterized (indirectly) through the coefficient of restitution (or COR, denoted e ): where v f and v i are

5264-483: The ball. Likewise, the energy loss at impact can be related to the COR by The COR of a ball can be affected by several things, mainly External conditions such as temperature can change the properties of the impacting surface or of the ball, making them either more flexible or more rigid. This will, in turn, affect the COR. In general, the ball will deform more at higher impact velocities and will accordingly lose more of its energy, decreasing its COR. Upon impacting

United has won six GNEFA men's premierships, the most recent in 1998 while it won four in a row from 1988 to 1991. United is also the league's most successful women's club, having won four premierships including a three-peat from 2006–2008. United home games are played at Central Park in Shepparton East. Seven-time capped Australian international and ex- Portsmouth FC player Robert Enes hails from Shepparton and played for United. Former Oldham Athletic midfielder Kelvin Lomax and former Socceroos goalscorer Michael Curcija have also played for

5488-425: The basketball impacting with the tennis ball. Assuming perfectly elastic collisions , the basketball impacting the floor at 1 m/s would rebound at 1 m/s. The tennis ball going at 1 m/s would then have a relative impact velocity of 2 m/s, which means it would rebound at 2 m/s relative to the basketball, or 3 m/s relative to the floor, and triple its rebound velocity compared to impacting

5600-399: The chairman, Lee Power, resigned. He was replaced by Wayne Purser. United finished the season in 2nd place, qualifying for the play-offs. They beat Burton Albion in the semi-final, 4–3 on aggregate, but lost 1–0 to Exeter City in the final , played at Wembley Stadium . Following the play-off defeat many players left the club, culminating in the departure of manager Jimmy Quinn. Quinn

Two relegations in three years left Cambridge United back in the fourth tier, before promotion was secured at the end of the 1998–99 campaign. They entered the Conference in 2005, after two relegations in four seasons, where they remained for nine seasons. They finished as Conference runners-up three times, being beaten in the play-off finals in 2008 and 2009 , before eventually securing promotion after winning

6272-521: The club's co-owners, Cambridge bought back the Abbey Stadium from Grosvenor in September 2022, 20 years after selling it. Cambridge United have traditionally worn amber and black home kits in a variety of designs, including plain amber with black trim (e.g. 1979–1991), amber and black quarters (1996–1998) and halves (e.g. 1924–25), and a variety of stripes (e.g. 1926–1936.

For the start of the 2013–14 season, The U's signed a deal with Genesis Sports to provide Puma team wear for the club. This deal has been continued into the 2014–15 season and saw the home shirts make a return to amber and black stripes. At the beginning of the 2019-2020 Campaign they have switched to Sportswear Company Hummel, however since

7168-437: The direction of the Magnus force ( reverse Magnus effect ). In sports like tennis or volleyball , the player can use the Magnus effect to control the ball's trajectory (e.g. via topspin or backspin ) during flight. In golf , the effect is responsible for slicing and hooking which are usually a detriment to the golfer, but also helps with increasing the range of a drive and other shots. In baseball , pitchers use

7280-437: The drag force on the ball is described by Stokes' law : where r is the radius of the ball. This force acts in opposition to the ball's direction (in the direction of − v ^ {\displaystyle \textstyle -{\hat {\mathbf {v} }}} ). For most sports balls, however, the Reynolds number will be between 10 and 10 and Stokes' law does not apply. At these higher values of

Ball tampering is often illegal, and is often at the centre of cricket controversies such as the one between England and Pakistan in August 2006 . In baseball, the term ' spitball ' refers to the illegal coating of the ball with spit or other substances to alter the aerodynamics of the ball. Any object immersed in a fluid such as water or air will experience an upwards buoyancy . According to Archimedes' principle , this buoyant force
