In the child's game of tetherball, a rope attached to the top of a tall pole is tied to a ball. Players hit the ball in opposite directions in an attempt to wrap the ball and rope around the pole. Assume the rope has negligible mass and that resistive forces, such as air resistance and friction, can be neglected. As the ball wraps around the pole between hits, how does the angular speed of the ball change

Answer:

The angular speed of the ball will increase

Step-by-step explanation:

the angular speed of the ball will increase because the force of hit by the players will sum up in opposite direction to increase the angular speed
