Suppose the force acting on a tennis ball (mass 0.060 kg) points in the \({\bf{ + x}}\) direction and is given by the graph of Fig. 7–33 as a function of time.
(a) Use graphical methods (count squares) to estimate the total impulse given the ball.
(b) Estimate the velocity of the ball after being struck; assuming the ball is being served so it is nearly at rest initially. [Hint: See Section 6–2.]

FIGURE 7-33 Problem 23.
A tennis ball of mass m = 0.060 kg and speed v = 28 m/s strikes a wall at a 45° angle and rebounds with the same speed at 45° (Fig. 7–32). What is the impulse (magnitude and direction) given to the ball?

FIGURE 7-32 Problem 18
A pendulum consists of a mass M hanging at the bottom end of a massless rod of length l which has a frictionless pivot at its top end. A mass m, moving as shown in Fig. 7–35 with velocity v, impacts M and becomes embedded. What is the smallest value of v sufficient to cause the pendulum (with embedded mass m) to swing clear over the top of its arc?

FIGURE 7-35Problem 42.
(I) A 110-kg tackler moving at 2.5 m/s meets head-on (and holds on to) an 82-kg halfback moving at 5.0 m/s. What will be their mutual speed immediately after the collision?
