Chapter 6, Problem 41P
* Fast tennis serve The fastest server in women’s tennis is Sabine Lisicki, who recorded a server at 131 mph (211 km/h) in 2014. Suppose that the mass of her racket was 328 g and the mass of the ball was 57g. If her racket was moving at 210km/h when it hit the ball, approximately what was the racket’s speed after hitting the ball? Indicate any assumptions you made.

- Two gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A light spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P9.41, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed v at maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.
