When a 58 g tennis ball is served, it accelerates from rest to a constant speed of 49 m/s. The impact with the racket gives the ball a constant acceleration over a distance of 45 cm. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the ball?
I tried using Fnet=ma, but acceleration isn't given. So I tried to find acceleration by dividing the velocity by time, but time isn't given. Then I tried to use a kinematic formula without time in it to solve for acceleration. When I got my "answer", it wasn't right. What in the world am I doing wrong?
