Problem 75PP

Tennis Ball Testing

A tennis ball bouncing on a hard surface compresses and then rebounds. The details of the rebound are specified in tennis regulations. Tennis balls, to be acceptable for tournament play, must have a mass of 57.5 g. When dropped from a height of 2.5 m onto a concrete surface, a ball must rebound to a height of 1.4 m. During impact, the ball compresses by approximately 6 mm.

How fast is the ball moving when it hits the concrete surface? (Ignore air resistance.)

A. 5 m/s

B. 7 m/s

C. 25 m/s

D. 50 m/s
