Answer:

0.228 kgm/s

Explanation:

57 g = 0.057 kg

The momentum of the tennis ball before hitting the wall is the product of its velocity and mass

p_1 = mv_1 = 0.057 * 74 = 4.218 kgm/s

The momentum of the tennis ball after hitting the wall is

p_2 = mv_2 = 0.057 * (-70) = -3.99 kgm/s

We we want to calculate the change in magnitude of the momentum, we take the difference between their absolute values:

\Delta p = |p_1| - |p_2| = 4.218 - 3.99 =0.228 kgm/s

What qualifications do you need to be a research scientist?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The qualifications boil down to: College education.

In most university or industrial research organizations, you might be able to work there as a member of the team who doesn't get much pay or much respect, with research going on all around you directed by other people, after you've gotten you Master's degree.

But you really don't have a shot at leading anything, or having much to say about what's being researched or how, until you have a PhD degree in the field where you'd like to do the research.

(Did I mention how proud I was to be present about 6 weeks ago, in a land far away, when my daughter was awarded a PhD degree in Molecular Biology ? I didn't want to let you get away without hearing about that.)
