Can A Tennis Ball Open A Car Door?
Can a tennis ball open a car door? We explore the science behind this popular internet meme to see if it’s possible.
Introduction
If you have ever locked your keys in the car, you may have wondered if a tennis ball can open a car door. The answer is yes! This simple trick has been around for years, and it really works. All you need is a tennis ball and a few minutes of time.
What You Need
To open your car door with a tennis ball, you will need the following items:
-A tennis ball
-A socket
-An extension cord
-A drill
Step One
First, find a tennis ball. It should be a regulation size tennis ball, not a practice ball or one of those tiny balls. If you don’t have a regulation size tennis ball, any kind of rubber or hard plastic ball will work, as long as it’s approximately the same size as a tennis ball.
Next, take the tennis ball and squeeze it as hard as you can. You want to compress the air inside the ball so that it’s under a lot of pressure.
Step Two
Now that you have your supplies, it’s time to get started. The first step is to take your tennis ball and make a small cut in the center. This will create a small opening that you can use to insert the pen. Next, take the pen and insert it into the tennis ball. Make sure that the pen is inserted all the way into the tennis ball so that there is no chance of it falling out.
Step Three
If your car door has a push-button opener, simply place the tennis ball over the button and press down. The ball will hold the button in place, allowing you to open and close your door without having to reach for the opener.
Step Four
The final step is to put the tennis ball in the crack of the door, right above the lock. Push down on the ball as hard as you can and pull back on the handle at the same time. If you’ve done it correctly, the ball will push down on the locking mechanism and pop open the door.
Conclusion
It is possible for a tennis ball to open a car door, but it is not recommended. The process is complicated and requires multiple steps, including drilling a hole in the tennis ball and attaching it to a string. Additionally, the car door must be unlocked before the tennis ball can be used to open it.
