BIO Biomechanics. The mass of a regulation tennisball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shownthat the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30ms. (Thisnumber can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0ms contact time. The fastest-known servedtennis ball was served by 鈥淏ig Bill鈥 Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73m/s. (a) What impulse and what force didBig Bill exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? (b) If Big

Bill鈥檚 opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55m/s, whatforce and what impulse did he exert on the ball, assuming onlyhorizontal motion?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The impulse exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve is 4.17kg.m/s .

The force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve is 138.97 N.

(b) The impulse exerted by the opponent is -7.3kg.m/s

The force exerted by the opponents -243.5N .

Step by step solution

01

Information given in the question.

Given in the question

Mass of the tennis ballm=57g=5710-3kg

Velocity of the served ballv2=73.14m/s

Time of contactt=30ms

02

Formula used in the question. 

The momentum of a particle: The momentum Pof a particle is a vector quantity equal to the product ofthe particle鈥檚 mass mand velocity v.

p=mv

Newton鈥檚second law says that the net force on a particleis equal to the rate of change of the particle鈥檚momentum.

F=dpdt

Impulse and momentum theorem

If Jis impulse and P1is initial momentum andP2 is final momentum

Then

J=P2-P1

03

Finding the impulse and force for part (a)

Given in the question

m=57g=5710-3kgv2=73.14m/st=30ms

As we know that service means hitting the ball and starting the play, since the ball is initially at rest so initial momentum is zero.

p1=0

Final momentum

p2=mv2=5710-3kg73.14m/s=4.17kg.m/s

From impulse momentum theorem.

J=P2-P1=4.17kg.m/s-0=4.17kg.m/s

The impulse exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve is 4.17kg.m/s

From Newton鈥檚 second law

F=dpdtF=p2-p1t=4.17kg.m/s-03010-3s=138.97N

The force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve is 138.97 N.

04

Finding the impulse and force for part (b)

Given in the question

m=57g=5710-3kg

Considering the direction from bill to his opponent is a positive direction.

v2=-55.0m/st=30ms

After Big Bill serves the ball momentum of the ball is

p1=4.17kg.m/s

Final momentum

p2=mv2=5710-3kg-55m/s=-3.135kg.m/s

From impulse momentum theorem.

J=P2-P1=-3.135kg.m/s-4.17kg.m/s=-7.3kg.m/s

The impulse exerted by the opponent is -7.3kg.m/s

From Newton鈥檚 second law

F=dpdtF=p2-p1t=-3.135kg.m/s-4.17kg.m/s3010-3s=-243.5N

The force exerted by the opponents -243.5 N.

Can you find a vector quantity that has a magnitude of zero but components that are not zero? Explain. Can the magnitude of a vector be less than the magnitude of any of its components? Explain.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

Rhea, one of Saturn鈥檚 moons, has a radius of 764 km and an acceleration due to gravity of 0.265 m/s2at its surface. Calculate its mass and average density.

An astronaut has left the International Space Station to test a new space scooter.

Her partner measures the following velocity changes, each taking place in a 10-sinterval.

What are the magnitude, the algebraic sign, and the direction of the average acceleration in each interval?

Assume that the positive direction is to the right.

(a) At the beginning of the interval, the astronaut is moving toward the right along the x-axis at 15.0m/s, and at the end of the interval she is moving toward the right at5.0m/s .

A hammer with mass m is dropped from rest from a height h above the earth鈥檚 surface. This height is not necessarily small compared with the radiusof the earth. Ignoring air resistance, derive an expression for the speed v of the hammer when it reaches the earth鈥檚 surface. Your expression should involve h,, and(the earth鈥檚 mass).
