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 of the x-axis is along the direction of motion of the ball after Big Bill's hit. What is the x-component of the force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve? If Big Bill's opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s what is the x-component of the force he exerted on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?

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. (a) What impulse and what total force did Big Bill exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? (b) If Big Bill’s opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s, what total force and what impulse did he exert on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
A 1000kg car traveling east at 30mi/hr collides with a 2000kg truck traveling west at 30 mi/hr. The two vehicles stick together. What is the veloicity of the wreck just after the collision?
We know that the total energy of the ball is purely kinetic when it bounces off the floor, and the energy is purely gravitational when the ball reaches maximum bounce height. We will focus on the percent energy loss during each collision. The percent energy loss is the energy lost during the collision divided by the initial energy of the ball. The percent energy lost during the nth collision is denoted by PELn. En-1 – En En–1 PEL х 100 Equation 2 Question 5 Derive an equation that determines the percent energy loss after the nth bounce in terms of the maximum bounce heights h, and h,n-1.
The Hulk (200kg of pure angry muscle)collides head-on with a truck (2500kg). If the Hulk was running at 10.0m/s and the truck was moving at 15.0 m/s in the opposite direction, after they stick together, what is their speed (in m/s)? Either the Hulk or the truck needs a negative initial velocity.
A 2000kg jeepney moving at 45km/hr accidentally collides with a 1000kg parked car. They both stick together after the collision. What is their final speed after the collision?
A 2,000kg car is moving at 30m/s hits a 1,500kg car moving at 12m/s going in the same direction. The two cars stick together. How fast do the two cars move together immediately after the collision? Note that the roads were icy.
During a spacewalk, Dmitri finds himself floating 3 m from his space station's airlock. He only has one minute of air left. He has one detachable 10 kg toolkit, which he can toss to propel himself toward safety. How fast will he need to move to reach the airlock before he runs out of air?
A snowball is thrown with a speed of 45.0km/h, giving it momentum with a magnitude of 2.10 Ns. What is the mass of the snowball in grams?
Lark Brandt won a "Worlds Fastest Smash" competition in the early 2000s. His ping pong ball achieved a speed of 112.5 km/hr. If his ping pong ball had a mass of 2.7 g and hit a wooden block with a mass of 125 g and bounced back with a speed of 45.0 km/hr, what speed (in km/hr) would the wooden block have?
During a routine flight in 1956, test pilot Tom Attridge put his jet fighter into a 20 dive for a test of the aircraft’s 20 mm machine cannons. While traveling faster than sound at 4000 m altitude, he shot a burst of rounds.Then, after allowing the cannons to cool, he shot another burst at 2000 m; his speed was then 344 m/s, the speed of the rounds relative to him was 730 m/s, and he was still in a dive. Almost immediately the canopy around him was shredded and his right air intake was damaged.With little flying capability left, the jet crashed into a wooded area, but Attridge managed to escape the resulting explosion. Explain what apparently happened just after the second burst of cannon rounds. (Attridge has been the only pilot who has managed to shoot himself down.)
A snowball is thrown with a speed of 42.0 km/h, giving it momentum with a magnitude of 2.00 Ns. The mass of the snowball, in grams, is what?
