A volleyball player spikes the ball. At the instant that she begins to extend her shoulder to bring her arm forward, her shoulder is in 225° of flexion. She contacts the ball 120 ms later with her shoulder in 160° of flexion and extending at 700°/s. 100 ms later, at the end of her follow-through, her shoulder stops extending at a flexion angle of 135°.  What was the average angular acceleration at the shoulder: (i) before ball contact and… (ii) after ball contact?

Question

A volleyball player spikes the ball. At the instant that she begins to extend her shoulder to bring her arm forward, her shoulder is in 225° of flexion. She contacts the ball 120 ms later with her shoulder in 160° of flexion and extending at 700°/s. 100 ms later, at the end of her follow-through, her shoulder stops extending at a flexion angle of 135°. 

What was the average angular acceleration at the shoulder:

(i) before ball contact and…

(ii) after ball contact?

[Assume extending = negative and flexing = positive]
