A tennis ball, 0.314 kg, is accelerated at a rate of 164 m/s2 when hit by a professional tennis player. What force does the play

er's tennis racket exert on the ball?

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                    Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                             = (0.314 kg) x (164 m/s²)

                             =    51.5 newtons

                         (about 11.6 pounds) .

Notice that the ball is only accelerating while it's in contact with the racket.
The instant the ball loses contact with the racket, it stops accelerating, and
sails off in a straight line at whatever speed it had when it left the strings.

Two billion people jump up in the air at the same time with an average velocity of 7.0 m/sec. If the mass of an average person i

Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface.  If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern  hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet.  I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.

average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction

Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)

Divide each side by 'm' :     v = (momentum) / (mass) =

The Earth's "recoil" velocity is   (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) = 

                                                               1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =

                                              <em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second

</em>
I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable.  But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
