A tennis ball is served at 26 m/s and returned in the opposite direction at 23 m/s. If the collision with the racket took 2.5 ms. What was the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball?
Added by Paula B.
Step 1
Change in velocity, \(\Delta v = v_f - v_i = -23 \, \text{m/s} - 26 \, \text{m/s} = -49 \, \text{m/s}\) Show more…
