Capitolo 2, Problema 22a

In the fastest measured tennis serve, the ball left the racquet at 73.1473.14 m/s. A served tennis ball is typically in contact with the racquet for 30.030.0 ms and starts from rest. Assume constant acceleration. What was the ball's acceleration during this serve?

Identify the known values: initial velocity (v₀) = 0 m/s (since the ball starts from rest), final velocity (v) = 73.14 m/s, and time (t) = 30.0 ms = 0.030 s.
Use the formula for acceleration under constant acceleration: a = (v - v₀) / t.
Substitute the known values into the formula: a = (73.14 m/s - 0 m/s) / 0.030 s.
Simplify the expression to find the acceleration: a = 73.14 m/s / 0.030 s.
The result from the simplification will give you the acceleration of the ball during the serve.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Kinematics Equations

Kinematics equations describe the motion of objects under constant acceleration. They relate displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time. In this problem, the equation v = u + at is crucial, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

Kinematics Equations

Constant Acceleration

Constant acceleration means that the rate of change of velocity is uniform over time. This simplifies calculations as the acceleration value remains the same throughout the motion. In this scenario, the ball's acceleration is constant while in contact with the racquet, allowing us to use kinematic equations effectively.

Unit Conversion

Unit conversion is essential for ensuring consistency in calculations. In this problem, time is given in milliseconds, which must be converted to seconds (1 ms = 0.001 s) to match the standard SI units used in kinematic equations. This ensures accurate computation of acceleration.

A pilot who accelerates at more than 4g4g begins to 'gray out' but doesn't completely lose consciousness. Assuming constant acceleration, what is the shortest time that a jet pilot starting from rest can take to reach Mach 44 (four times the speed of sound) without graying out? (Use 331331 m/s for the speed of sound in cold air.)
