Answer:
F=248.5W N
Explanation:
Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma. We will use their averages always. The average acceleration the tennis ball experimented is, by definition:
Since we start counting at 0s and the ball departs from rest, this is just
So we can write:
Where in the last step we have just multiplied and divided by g, the acceleration of gravity. This allows us to introduce the weight of the ball W since W=gm, so we have:
Substituting our values:
Where the average force exerted has been written it terms of the tennis ball's weight W.
