A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision takes 20 ms. What is the average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall?
Added by Brittany G.
Step 1
The initial velocity (\(v_i\)) is 30 m/s (towards the wall), and the final velocity (\(v_f\)) is -26 m/s (away from the wall, opposite direction). Show more…

A tennis ball with a speed of 20.9 m/s is moving perpendicular to a wall. After striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 10.7217 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.0112 s, what is the average acceleration of the ball while it is in contact with the wall? Take "toward the wall" to be the positive direction. Answer in units of m/s^2.
