We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:
where
is the variation of internal energy of the system
Q is the heat added to the system
W is the work done by the system
In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is
While the heat added to the system is
therefore, the work done by the system is
Given :
The average acceleration of a tennis ball that has an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s.
and a final velocity of 7.3 m/s.
It is in contact with a tennis racket for 0.094 s
To Find :
The average acceleration of the tennis ball.
Solution :
We know, average acceleration is given by :
Therefore, average velocity is given by 13.83 m/s².
Hence, this is the required solution.
