Answer #1

a)
Average speed = distance travelled/time taken

= L/T

b) V_avg = L/T

= 24/0.6

= 40 m/s

    The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms. (This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. Suppose that the positive direction...

    A tennis ball of mass 0.0631 kg is served. It strikes the ground with a velocity of 54.0 m/s (120 mi/h) at an angle of 22.0° below the horizontal. Just after the bounce it is moving at 53.0 m/s at an angle of 18.0° above the horizontal. If the interaction with the ground lasts 0.0630 s, in what angle does the average force exerted by the ground on the ball act?
