Question

A 0.34kg tennis racket hits a 0.064kg tennis ball with a force of 8.0N forwards. If there was no force resisting the motion of the tennis racket, how fast would the tennis racket accelerate initially?

Answer 1

The acceleration of the tennis racket is
`23.52\ m/s^2`.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of tennis racket is 0.34 kg

Mass of a tennis ball is 0.064 kg

The force acting by the tennis racket by the tennis ball is 8 N. It is required to find the how fast would the tennis racket accelerate initially. Force is given by :

F = ma

`a=(F)/(m)\\\\a=(8)/(0.34)\\\\a=23.52\ m/s^2`

So, the acceleration of the tennis racket is
`23.52\ m/s^2`.
