4.42 • BIO Human Biomechanics. The fastest served tennis ball, served by "Big Bill" Tilden in 1931, was measured at 73.14 m/s. The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g, and the ball is typi- cally in contact with the tennis racquet for 30.0 ms, with the ball starting from rest. Assuming constant acceleration, (a) what force did Big Bill's tennis racquet exert on the tennis ball if he hit it essentially horizontally? (b) Draw free-body diagrams of the tennis ball during the serve and just after it moved free of the racquet.

A dog and a sledge are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 12.6 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible mass. The dog exerts a certain horizontal force (N) on the rope. If magnitudes of the sledge and the dog accelerations are o.7 m/s² and o.1 m/s², respectively. How far from the dog's initial position (m) do they meet?
*17. CD A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be indepen- dently adjusted. When the engines are fired simultaneously and each ap- plies its force in the same direction, the probe, starting from rest, takes 28 s to travel a certain distance. How long does it take to travel the same distance, again starting from rest, if the engines are fired simultaneously and the forces that they apply to the probe are perpendicular?

Three forces acting on an object are given by F₁ = (−2.2î + 6.85ĵ) N, F₂ = (4.75î – 1.25ĵ) N, and F3 = (-401) N. The object experiences an acceleration of magnitude 3.80 m/s².

A 1700 kg car is driving down a highway at a constant velocity when a deer jumps out onto the road 59.6 m ahead. The coefficient of friction between the car tires and the road is 0.21. Calculate the initial velocity of the car if it is able to stop just before hitting the deer. (You do not need to account for reaction time of the driver. Assuming the car is breaking the entire 59.6 m distance and that friction is the only force stopping the car.) v0 = m/s
At time t=0, a sled that has a mass of 120 kg is gliding through the snow at a speed of 3.00 m/s on a horizontal surface. The sled decelerates at the constant rate of 0.720 m/s² until it comes to a full stop. a) Determine the time that it takes for the sled to come to a stop. b) Determine the kinetic force of friction () causing the sled to slow down.

A spacecraft was designed to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. The spacecraft was launched on a rocket. At launch, the rocket has a mass of 555,000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. If you were to neglect the effect of gravity, what would the intial acceleration of the rocket be? Give your an answer to an appropriate number of significant figures.
In attempting to pass the puck to a teammate, a hockey player gives it an initial speed of 2.43 m/s. However, this speed is inadequate to compensate for the kinetic friction between the puck and the ice. As a result, the puck travels only one-half the distance between the players before sliding to a halt. What minimum initial speed should the puck have been given so that it reached the teammate, assuming that the same force of kinetic friction acted on the puck everywhere between the two players?

true or false? A crate experiences a force to the left in deep space (there's no air resistance or gravitational bodies near it), the crate will move to the left indefinitely.
