So since the racket has a greater masss then the ball, therefore the momentum of the racket is greater then the ball, so if the momentum is greater the racket will still move in the same direction and the velocity will not change much.
Is this the right solution
So since the racket has a greater masss then the ball, therefore the momentum of the racket is greater then the ball, so if the momentum is greater the racket will still move in the same direction and the velocity will not change much.
the formula of momentum is p=mv so other then velocity,mass is needed, so is it because the mass of the 2 objects are both equal for the velocity of the racket to stay the same
hey guys i came up with a different solution,
Is it correct that the velocity of the racket dosen't change because of perfect elastic collisions where the objects involes some change in shape and some energy is lost to heat, meanwhile the momentum and Kineticc Energy are conserved.
Hey guys i can't seem to explain this question for my homework.
"During a tennis serve, momentum gained by the ball is lost by a racket. If the momentum is conserved, why dosen't the racket's speed change much?
Im not sure, but i think it might be because the ball is at rest and there is...
