Ahhh ok... I was worn out yesterday so I couldn't figure that out.

judging from the given variables, there's no change.

Homework Statement During a tennis volley, a ball that arrives at a player at 40 m/s is struck by the racquet and returned at 40 m/s. The other player, realizing that the ball is out of bounds, catches it in her hand. Assuming the time interval of contact is the same in both cases, compare the...

I think you read my tone wrong, all I said was that it wasn't asking for the tension, I know that you were trying to help. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding that may have occurred.

It's not asking for tension. also, this problem has been completed already. I see what I did wrong now. When I went to calculate the answer again, I got it right.

That's really weird then, I think something is obviously up with this class. At least now I'll have this in my notes for future reference for when I eventually have to retake the course. Again, thank you for your help.

Thank you! However, I've just discovered that answer is incorrect both when I use your answer and try to make it negative. The correct answer (which I just barely managed to get with 2-3 attempts left) was 1.7m/s^2.

I thought as much. So for starters, how would I write this equation? I'll check back if I continue to have issues.

I'm working on my University Physics 1 homework and I need someone to coach me through the problems. I only have until 10/05/14 (Tomorrow at 11p.m.) and I need to get this done, but I have been struggling with what equations to use and how to solve it (The 2 books that came with the course do a...
