A object is moving to the right with a speed of when it experiences the force shown in FIGURE EX11.9. What are the object鈥檚 speed and direction after the force ends?

A tennis player swings her g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed of 20 m/s . The ball rebounds at m/s.
a. How fast is her racket moving immediately after the impact? You can ignore the interaction of the racket with her hand for the brief duration of the collision.
b. If the tennis ball and racket are in contact for 10 m/s, what is the average force that the racket exerts on the ball? How does this compare to the gravitational force on the ball?
At the center of a 50-m-diameter circular ice rink, a 75 kg skater traveling north at 2.5 m/s collides with and holds on to a 60 kg skater who had been heading west at 3.5 m/s.
a. How long will it take them to glide to the edge of the rink?
b. Where will they reach it? Give your answer as an angle north of west
a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).
b. Finish the solution of the problem, including a pictorial representation.
