**Tennis Ball Collision Problem: Understanding Impulse and Work**

A tennis player receives a shot with a ball weighing 0.0600 kg. The ball initially travels horizontally at a speed of 24.0 m/s. The player returns the shot, and the ball then moves horizontally in the opposite direction at 44.5 m/s. Assume the initial motion of the ball is in the negative x direction.

---

**(a) Calculating Impulse Delivered to the Ball by the Tennis Racket**

- Impulse (\(I\)) is calculated using the change in momentum of the ball. It's given by the formula:

  \[ I = \Delta p = m(v_f - v_i) \]

Where:
  - \( m = 0.0600 \, \text{kg} \) (mass of the ball)
  - \( v_i = -24.0 \, \text{m/s} \) (initial velocity, negative direction)
  - \( v_f = 44.5 \, \text{m/s} \) (final velocity, positive direction)

- Resulting Impulse: \(\boxed{1 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{s}}\)

---

**(b) Evaluating Work Done on the Ball and Energy Changes**

- When the ball collides with the racket, work is done on the ball. Some energy transforms into internal energy within the ball due to this collision.

- The work-energy equation is given as:

  \[ W - \Delta E_{\text{int}} = \Delta KE \]

Where:
  - \( W \) is the work done
  - \( \Delta E_{\text{int}} \) is the change in internal energy
  - \( \Delta KE \) is the change in kinetic energy of the ball

- \( \Delta KE \) is calculated as:

  \[ \Delta KE = \frac{1}{2} m (v_f^2 - v_i^2) \]

- Resulting Work and Energy Sum: \(\boxed{3 \, \text{J}}\)
