In an experiment, you throw a rubber ball of mass m = 25.0 g onto a block of mass M = 250 g that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 0.98 m. (Figure) The ball bounces back with a speed of 1.01 m/s, and the block eventually lands at d = 1.02 m from the bottom of the table. What is the speed of the ball, right before it hits the block?

this is a multi step problem but I am just having trouble with this part of the problem. Here are the values that I correctly calculated: mass of particle 1=6 kg initial velocity for particle 1= 185i+138j final velocity for particle 1= -68.89i+-50.67j F21=-15.9e-t/96i+-100sin(2πt/96)j I am trying to find: What is the x displacement for particle 1? I think that I need to use Newtons second law to get an expression for acceleration, and then integrate but I am not getting the right answers.
Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes them apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 4.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 46 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. Once that transfer is complete, what are the kinetic energies of each particle? (a) particle A --------- J(b) particle B --------- J

The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g (although it can vary slightly), and tests have shown that the ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms.(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0 ms contact time. One of the fastest-known served tennis balls was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73 m/s. Suppose that the positive direction of the x-axis is along the direction of motion of the ball after Big Bill's hit. What is the x-component of the force exerted by Big Bill on the tennis ball in his record serve? If Big Bill's opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55 m/s what is the x-component of the force he exerted on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
