Serena's average serve is about 120 mph! Before you begin you will need to convert that to meters per second. It takes the eye about 100 milliseconds to tell the brain it's looking at the ball. By the time the opposing player is ready to react, she only has 400 milliseconds to do so.
1-According to the Sport Science Video on Serena's serve, how long does it take for the eye to pick up the ball once she hits the serve? Write the time in milliseconds.
2-The opponent to Serena's serve doesn't pick up the ball until it as at the net. How long do they have to react to the serve once it is at this point? Write your answer in milliseconds.
3-Serena's serve is clocked on average at 120 mph. Calculate the impulse (change in momentum) on the ball. Assuming its initial speed is zero m/s and the final speed is 120 mph. Let's change that to m/s. The mass of tennis ball is approximately 0.06 kg.
4-If Serena's racket is in contact with the ball for .005 seconds, what is the average force she hits the ball during her serve? This calculation is in Newtons.
5-What is the acceleration of the tennis ball? In m/s^2

Suppose the electric field between the electric plates in the mass spectrometer of Figure 27-33 in the textbook is 2.64×104 V/m and the magnetic fields are B=B′=0.36T. The source contains carbon isotopes of mass numbers 12, 13, and 14 from a long dead piece of a tree. (To estimate atomic masses, multiply by 1.66×10−27kg.)

1. Celeste Orion, an assistant coach for The Vanishing Planet Soccer Team has been asked to evaluate each of the team’s players to determine which players kick with the highest velocity. Celeste borrows a radar gun from her friend Pluto. She gathers the players together and asks them to stand at the penalty mark and kick the ball into the goal as hard as they can. She tells them that the ball must go into the goal for it to be considered “legal”. She stands, dead center behind the goal, holds the radar gun 4 ft off the ground and points it directly at the penalty mark (slightly downward). She gives each player 3 “legal” kicks and records the highest speed.
The following information may help you answer this question: 1) The radar gun works by sending a “radar” signal (on a straight line) in the direction that it is pointed. The signal then bounces off the object and returns (on a straight line) back to the gun. The change in the rate of the signal return to the radar gun is used to determine ball velocity. 2) You may look online for the term “cosine effect” in the context of a radar gun.

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction. Define both, write their SI unit and dimension. Write down the mathematical statement (formula) that allows us to calculate the force of friction. Explain each term with its unit. Let’s say you’re dragging a 50 kg rubber box on wetconcrete. How do you calculate the force of friction on this box?

A transverse sinusoidal wave on a string is moving in the −x-direction. Its speed is 30.0 m/s, and its period is 20.0 ms. At t = 0, a colored mark on the string at x = 0 has a vertical position of 2.00 cm and is moving down with a speed of 1.30 m/s. (a) What is the amplitude of the wave (in m)? 0.0204 Correct: Your answer is correct. m (b) What is the phase constant (in rad)? Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. Use the expressions you wrote for y and vtransverse from part (a), and divide them to find an equation for tan(ϕ). Take the inverse to find ϕ. Note that the angle you are looking for is in the second quadrant, so you will need to modify your calculator answer as needed. rad (c) What is the maximum transverse speed of the string (in m/s)? m/s (d) Write the wave function for the wave. (Use the form A sin(kx + ωt + ϕ). Assume that y and x are in m and t is in s. Do not include units in your answer.) y(x, t) = m
