The instant before a tennis racquet hits a 0.057 kg tennis ball, the velocity of the ball is 55 m/s west. The instant after the batter hits the ball, the ball's velocity is 45 m/s east. The racquet and ball are in contact for 1.5 x 10-2
S.
Determine the acceleration of the tennis ball while it is in contact with the racquet. State direction clearly.
670 m/s2 [E]
6700 m/s? [E]
670 m/s2 [W]
6700 m/s2 [W]

6700m/s^2 E

Explanation:

Given the following :

Velocity of ball before being hit by a racquet = initial velocity(u) = 55m/s W

Velocity of the ball after being hit = final Velocity (v) = 45m/s E

Time of contact between ball and racquet (t) = 1.5 × 10^-2

The acceleration of a body is the change in Velocity of a body with time. It given by:

Acceleration (a) = [final Velocity(v) - initial velocity(u)] / time(t)

The westward direction is towards the left and thus Velocity takes a negative value, similarly, if it's towards the right, Velocity takes a positive value.

Therefore,

a = [45 - (-55)] / 1.5×10^-2

a = [45 + 55] / 0.015

a = 100 / 0.015

a = 6666.6666 m/s^2

a = 6700m/s^2 E

Since the value of acceleration is positive, the direction is towards the East (acceleration is in the direction of the ball's final Velocity).

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.

your answer is, orbit around the nucleus
