(a)
consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.
m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg
v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s
v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s
ΔP = change in momentum of the ball
change in momentum of the ball is given as
ΔP = m (v - v₀)
inserting the above values
ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)
ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s
hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s
The Cell Membrane is what controls what enters and leaves the cell.
