Typically, a tennis ball hit during a serve travels away at about 51 m/s. If the ball is at rest in mid-air when struck, and it has a mass of 0.074 kg, what is the magnitude of the change in its momentum (in kg*m/s) on leaving the racket?

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?

A ball of mass $5.0 \mathrm{kg}$ moving with a speed of $2.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ in the $+x$ -direction hits a wall and bounces back with the same speed in the $-x$ -direction. What is the change of momentum of the ball?
