All right, so this is a bio -related problem involving tennis.
00:05
So after a server hits a tennis ball, the world record is that this tennis ball is moving at 73 .4 meters per second.
00:16
A typical tennis ball has a mass of, oops, too many zeros, 0 .057 kilograms.
00:26
And, of course, the ball started from rest.
00:28
The initial velocity is equal to zero, and then the time interval over which the hit happened was 30 milliseconds.
00:38
Okay, so in part a, we want to know what the force exerted over this time interval is.
00:44
So we'll go ahead and solve for that.
00:48
And first, we need to find what the acceleration over this interval was, so we can use the average acceleration equation in order to figure that out.
00:58
So the change in velocity over change in time.
01:01
So change the change velocity to vf minus v .0.
01:05
And then we just said that this one is equal to zero.
01:13
So now we can plug in numbers and get 73 .14 divided by 0 .03.
01:22
Plug that into a calculator...
