Question

The fast server in women's tennis is Venus Williams, who recorded a serve of 130   (209  ) in 2007.

Answer 1

Converting 209 km/hr to m/s:
209 km/hr = 58.0 m/s
Contact distance = 0.1 m

Using the equation of motion:
2as = v² - u², where initial velocity is 0

a = (58)² / (2 x 0.1)
a = 1.68 x 10⁴ m/s²
