A tennis racket hits a tennis ball with a force of F=at-bt2, where a = 1290 N/ms, b = 330 N/ms2, and t is the time (in milliseconds). The ball is in contact with the racket for 2.80 ms. If the tennis ball has a mass of 55.6 g, what is the resulting velocity of the ball, v, after the ball is hit by the racket?

The resulting velocity of the ball after it hits the racket was of V = 51.6 m/s

Explanation:

m = 55.6 g = 0.0556 kg

t = 2.8 ms = 2.8 * 10⁻³ s

F = 1290 N/ms * t - 330 N/ms² * t²

F = 1024.8 N

F*t = m * V

V = F*t/m

V = 51.6 m/s
