4.42 • BIO Human Biomechanics. The fastest served tennis ball, served by "Big Bill" Tilden in 1931, was measured at 73.14 m/s. The mass of a tennis ball is 57 g, and the ball is typi- cally in contact with the tennis racquet for 30.0 ms, with the ball starting from rest. Assuming constant acceleration, (a) what force did Big Bill's tennis racquet exert on the tennis ball if he hit it essentially horizontally? (b) Draw free-body diagrams of the tennis ball during the serve and just after it moved free of the racquet.

A biker is traveling on level ground at 52.0 m/s with a combined mass of 325.0 kg. She spots a police officer 500 meters up ahead, so she applies the brakes, reducing her speed by half over a period of 18.0 seconds. In meters, how far does she travel during this time period? Answer: ___________ m
A loaded tractor-trailer with a total mass of 5500 kg traveling at 2.5 km/h hits a loading dock and comes to a stop in 0.56 s . What is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the truck by the dock?
A 63.0 kgkg parachutist falling vertically at a speed of 6.50 m/sm/s hits the ground, which brings him to a complete stop in a distance of 0.87 mm (roughly half of his height). 1) Assuming constant acceleration after his feet first touch the ground, what is the average force exerted on the parachutist by the ground? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
After falling from rest from a height of 30-m, a 0.50-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a maximum height of 20-m. If the contact between the ball and the ground lasted 20 milliseconds, what average force was exerted on the ball by the ground? (Hint: consider the change in velocity that has occurred between the interval just before and just after hitting the ground). Answer: 1.1 x 10^3 N
Ball A, with mass mA = 1.2 kg, is released from height h = 0.5 m and strikes block B, with mass mB = 2 kg, which is initially at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, block B travels a distance d = 0.9 m along the horizontal surface, after which it stops. The coefficients of friction between block B and the horizontal surface are μs = 0.30 and μk = 0.20, respectively. a. acceleration of block B as it moves along the horizontal surfaceb. speed of block B after impact with pendulum bob Ac. speed of pendulum bob A just before it hits block Bd. coefficient of restitution between pendulum bob A and block B
A block with mass m1 hangs from a rope that is extended over an ideal pulley and attached to a second block with mass m2 that sits on a ledge slanted at an angle of 20 (Fig. P5.49). Suppose the system of blocks is initially motionless and held still, and then it is released. If m1 = 7.00 kg and m2 = 2.00 kg, find the magnitude of the acceleration of the blocks, assuming there is no friction between the second block and the ledge. FIGURE P5.49 Problems 49 and 50.

With the same procedure, you fire a bean with speed 600 cm/s. What is the ratio of the mass of the bean to the mass of the pebble? (a) 19 (b) 13 (c) 1 (d) 3(e) 9
A Small pickup truck that has a caliper shell slowly coasts toward a red light with negligible friction. Two dogs in the back of the truck are moving and making various inelastic collisions with each other and the walls. What is the effect of the dogs on the motion of the center of mass of the system (truck plus entire load)? What is their effect on the motion of the truck?
Professional Application (a) Calculate the maximum rate at which a rocket can expel gases if its acceleration cannot exceed seven times that of gravity. The mass of the rocket just as it runs out of fuel is 75,000-kg, and its exhaust velocity is 2.40103 m/s. Assume that the acceleration of gravity is the same as on Earth's surface (9.80 m/s2). (b) Why might it be necessary to limit the acceleration of a rocket?
A 0.145-kg baseball pitched at 37.5 m/s is hit on a horizontal line drive straight back at the pitcher at 43.0 m/s. If the contact time between bat and ball is 5.60×10−3 s, calculate the magnitude of the force (assumed to be constant) exerted on the ball by the bat. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. F=__________
