A tennis player is hitting a 58 gram tennis ball back across the net. When the racquet and the ball first make contact, the ball

is moving at 30 m/s 15⁰ below the positive x-axis. When the ball leaves the racquet, it is moving at 40 m/s 15⁰ above the negative x-axis. If the ball is in contact with the racquet for 0.08 s, what is the average net force acting on the tennis ball while it is in contact with the racquet? Air resistance and the force of gravity are negligible when compared to the force by the tennis racquet.

Answer:

The net force acting on the tennis ball while it is in contact with the racquet is 50.73 N

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem said that the net impulse is equal to the change of the momentum, this is:

\overrightarrow{I}=\varDelta\overrightarrow{P}\,\,(1)

but the net impulse is too the net force times the change in time:

\overrightarrow{I}=\overrightarrow{F}\varDelta t\,\,(2)

so using (2) on (1) we have:

\overrightarrow{F}\varDelta t=\varDelta\overrightarrow{P}\,\,(3)

Decomposing that on x and y components:

F_{x}\varDelta t=\varDelta P_{x}=P_{fx}-P_{ox}\,\,(3)

F_{y}\varDelta t=\varDelta P_{y}=P_{fy}-P_{oy}\,\,(4)

(See figure below) with Pfx = m*vfx= m*vf*cos(15°)=(0.058kg)(40m/s)cos(15°),

Pox = -m*vox= m*vo*cos(15°)=-(0.058kg)(30m/s)cos(15°), the same analysis to Pfy and Poy gives

Pfy=(0.058kg)(40m/s)sin(15°), Poy=-(0.058kg)(30m/s)sin(15°), using those values on (3) and (4) and solving for Fy and Fx:

F_{x}=\frac{(0.058)(40)cos(15\text{\textdegree})-(-(0.058)(30)cos(15\text{\textdegree}))}{0.08}\simeq49N\,\,(5)

F_{y}=\frac{(0.058)(40)sin(15\text{\textdegree})-(-(0.058)(30)sin(15\text{\textdegree}))}{0.08}\simeq13.13N\,\,(6)

So the net force acting on the tennis ball while it is in contact with the racquet is:

F=\sqrt{F_{x}^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\simeq50.73N

Which of the statements best describes density?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter D.

Explanation:

a.The mass that a mole of substance has, measured in grams per mole.  Density is not measure in moles, so this is not the correct answer.

b.The amount of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in moles per liter.  The substance dissolved in a liquid must be measure in grams not in moles, so this answer is incorrect.

c.The mass of substance dissolved in a liquid, measured in grams per milliliter.  I think that this definition is correct but is incomple, so this answer is wrong.

d.The ratio of a substance's mass to its volume, measured in grams per milliliter and also equivalent to grams per cubic centimeter. This is the right description to density, so this is the correct answer.
