Chapter 8, Problem 21PE
When serving a tennis ball, a player hits the ball when its velocity is zero (at the highest point of a vertical toss). The racquet exerts a force of 540 N on the ball for 5.00 ms, giving it a final velocity of 45.0 m/s. Using these data, find the mass of the ball.

As a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 19.5 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand through a distance of 1.55 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.
A golf ball of mass 4.50x10^-2 kg is struck by a club. Contact lasts 2.00x10^-4 s, and the ball leaves the tee with a horizontal velocity of 50.0 m/s. Compute the average force the club exerts on the ball by finding its average acceleration.
In the amusement park ride known as Magic Mountain Superman, powerful magnets accelerate a car and its riders from rest to 45m/s (about 100mi/h) in a time of 7.0s. The combined mass of the car and riders is 5.5×103kg. Find the average net force exerted on the car and riders by the magnets.
