1. A tennis ball of mass 60g is struck by a tennis racket. The velocity of the ball when struck the tennis racket is 30 ms-1 and rebounds at 50 ms-1. What is the magnitude of change in momentum of the ball? 4.8 kg m s-1 1.2 kg m s-1 1.2 x 103 kg m s-1 4.8 x 103 kg m s-1

Step 1
The mass of the ball is given as 60 g. To convert this to kilograms, divide by 1000: \[ \text{Mass in kg} = \frac{60}{1000} = 0.06 \, \text{kg} \] Show more…

Paul hits a tennis ball of mass 0.2 kg straight to his opponent. The ball arrives at the racket of the opponent with a speed of 40 m/s. The opponent hits it straight back to Paul with a speed of 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the change in the ball's momentum?

You and a friend are playing tennis. (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum of the $0.057-\mathrm{kg}$ tennis ball when it travels at a speed of $30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?$ (b) At what speed must your 0.32-kg tennis racket move to have the same magnitude momentum as the ball? (c) If you run toward the ball at a speed of $5.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},$ and the ball is flying directly at you at a speed of $30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s},$ what is the magnitude of the total momentum of the system (you and the ball)? Assume your mass is $60 \mathrm{kg} .$ In every case specify the object of reference.
