Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the ball, m = 0.06 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 50.4 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = -37 m/s (As it returns)
(a) Let J is the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball by the racket. It can be calculated as the change in momentum as :
J = -5.24 kg-m/s
(b) Let W is the work done by the racket on the ball. It can be calculated as the change in kinetic energy of the object.
W = -35.1348 Joules
Hence, this is the required solution.
