Complete question: Jaclyn plays singles for South's varsity tennis team. During the match against North, Jaclyn won the sudden death tiebreaker point with a cross-court passing shot. The 57.5-gram ball hit her racket with a northward velocity of 26.7 m/s. Upon impact with her 331-gram racket, the ball rebounded in the exact opposite direction (and along the same general trajectory) with a speed of 29.5 m/s.
a. Determine the pre-collision momentum of the ball.
b. Determine the post-collision momentum of the ball.
c. Determine the momentum change of the ball.
Answer:
A. 1.5353kgm/s
B. 1.6963kgm/s
C. 0.161kgm/s
Explanation:
A. The pre-collision momentum of the ball = mass of ball × velocity of ball
Mass of ball = 57.5g = 0.0575kg
Velocity of ball = 26.7m/s
Pre-collision momentum of ball = 0.0575×26.7
= 1.5353kgm/s
B. Post collision momentum of the ball = mass of ball × velocity of ball after impact
Velocity of ball after impact = 29.5m/s
Post collision momentum of ball after impact = 0.0575×29.5
= 1.6963kgm/s
C. Momentum change of ball = momentum after impact - momentum before imlact
= 1.6963kgm/s - 1.5353kgm/s
= 0.161kgm/s
