Jaclyn plays singles for south's varsity tennis team. during the match against north, jaclyn won the sudden death tiebreaker point with a cross-court passing shot. the 57.5-gram ball hit her racket with a northward velocity of 26.7 m/s. upon impact with her 331-gram racket, the ball rebounded in the exact opposite direction (and along the same general trajectory) with a speed of 29.5 m/s.
a. determine the pre-collision momentum of the ball.
b. determine the post-collision momentum of the ball.
c. determine the momentum change of the ball.
d. determine the velocity change of the racket.

A) pbin = 1.535 Kgm/s (+)

B) pbf = 1.696 Kgm/s (-)

C) Δp = 3.3925 Kgm/s

D) Δvr = 10.249 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the ball: m = 57.5 g = 0.0575 Kg

Initial speed of the ball: vbi = 26.7 m/s

Mass of the racket: M = 331 g = 0.331 Kg

Final speed of the ball: vbf = 29.5 m/s

A) We use the formula

pbin = m*vbi = 0.0575 Kg*26.7 m/s = 1.535 Kgm/s (+)

B) pbf = m*vbf = 0.0575 Kg*29.5 m/s = 1.696 Kgm/s (-)

C) We use the equation

Δp = pbf - pbin = 1.696 Kgm/s - (-1.535 Kgm/s) = 3.3925 Kgm/s

D) Knowing that

Δp = 3.3925 Kgm/s

we can say that

Δp = M*Δvr

⇒  Δvr = Δp / M

⇒  Δvr = 3.3925 Kgm/s / 0.331 Kg

⇒  Δvr = 10.249 m/s

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!
