Chapter 4, Problem 47GP
|| BIO Human biomechanics. The fastest served tennis ball, served by Samuel Groth in 2012, was measured at 73 m/s. The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g, and the ball is typically in contact with the tennis racquet for 30.0 ms, with the ball starting from rest. Assuming constant acceleration, (a) what force did Groth’s tennis racquet exert on the tennis ball if he hit it essentially horizontally? (b) Make a free-body diagram of the tennis ball during the serve and one just after it has moved free of the racquet.

World-class sprinters can accelerate out of the starting blocks with an acceleration that is nearly horizontal and has magnitude 15 m>s2. How much horizontal force must a 55 kg sprinter exert on the starting blocks to produce this acceleration? Which object exerts the force that propels the sprinter: the blocks or the sprinter herself?
