a tennis ball with a speed of 10.1 m/s is
moving perpendicular to a wall. after striking
the wall, the ball rebounds in the opposite
direction with a speed of 8.3426 m/s.
if the ball is in contact with the wall for
0.00905 s, what is the average acceleration of
the ball while it is in contact with the wall?
take “toward the wall” to be the positive
direction.
answer in units of m/s2.

i don’t understand !

-2040 m/s²

Explanation:

Taking toward the wall to be positive, the initial velocity is 10.1 m/s and the final velocity is -8.3426 m/s.

Average acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (-8.3426 m/s − 10.1 m/s) / 0.00905 s

a = -2040 m/s²

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
