Chapter 5 Problem 56GP

Question

In a tennis serve, a 0.070-kg ball can be accelerated from rest to 36 m/s over a distance of 0.75 m. Find the magnitude of the average force exerted hy the racket on the ball during the serve.

Solution

 

Step 1 of 3

A tennis player accelerates the ball from rest to a specified speed and it reaches a distance. We are going to find the average force exerted by the racket.

The mass of the ball \(m=0.070 \mathrm{~kg}\)

The initial speed \(\text { vo }=0\)

The final speed \(\mathrm{v}=36 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

The distance covered by the ball \(\Delta x=0.75\ m\)
