Change in velocity, help please. :)
A tennis ball’s initial velocity is 30 m/s. When struck by a tennis racquet, its velocity becomes 28 m/s [N30°W]. Determine the ball’s change in velocity.
I've used the normal component method but I end up with approximately 15 m/s.
I've never worked with velocity so it's kind of difficult for me at the moment.
In the North direction, it is approximately 24 m/s and in the West direction it is approximately 14 m/s.
The answer sheet says
56 m/s [N15°W]
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you. <3
