QUESTION:

Just before it is struck by a racket, a tennis ball weighing 0.560 N has a velocity of \((20.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}) \hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}-(4.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}) \hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}}\). During the 3.00 ms that the racket and ball are in contact, the net force on the ball is constant and equal to \(-(380 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\boldsymbol{\imath}}+(110 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\boldsymbol{\jmath}}\).

(a) What are the x- and y-components of the impulse of the net force applied to the ball?

(b) What are the x- and y-components of the final velocity of the ball?
