Question

detailed solution please

In the impulse-momentum diagram to the right, the 2 or tennis ball initially travels to the left at 61mph when the tennis racket strikes it, mV exerting an impulse L1 rightarrow 2 = 0.4 i 0.4 j lb. s on the ball. The ball is 1 ft above the ground when the State 1 tennis racket impacts it. Determine maximum 1 2 height the tennis ball achieves above the horizontal tennis court and its velocity at this instant. Neglect air drag (probably not a good assumption for a tennis ball)

Explanation / Answer


mass m = 2*0.0283 kg


initial momentum Pi = -m*v1 i

v1 = 61 mph = 61*0.45 = 27.45 m/s

final momentum Pf = m*v2

Impulse L = 0.4i + 0.4 i

from impulse momentum theorem


impulse = change in momentum


L = Pf - Pi

0.4i + 0.4j = 0.028*(v2 + 2.45i)


v2 = 11.85 i + 14.3 j

----------

along vertical

initial velocity v0y = 14.3 m/s

y0 = 1 ft = 0.3048 m


acceleration ay = -g = -9.8 m/s^2

at maximum height vy = 0


vy^2 - v0y^2 = 2*ay*dy

0 - 14.3^2 = -2*9.8*(y-0.3048)


ymax = 10.7 m <<<<---answer

-------------


velocity at maxim height = 11.85 i
