Tennis ball of mass 60 g is struck by a tennis racket. The velocity of the ball changes as shown: 30 m/s -> 50 m/s. What is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball? Show complete solution.
Added by Elizabeth Y.
Step 1
First, we need to convert the mass of the tennis ball from grams to kilograms. To do this, we divide by 1000: 60 g = 60/1000 kg = 0.06 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?

Typically, a tennis ball hit during a serve travels away at about 51 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the ball is at rest mid-air when struck, and it has a mass of $0.058 \mathrm{~kg}$, what is the change in its momentum on leaving the racket?
