Soccer ball rebouncing of the goal post

[QUOTE="brundlfly, post: 4528161, member: 489088"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A 420 g soccer ball traveling at 23 m/s hits the goal post and rebounds at 18 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the post for 3.3 ms, what is the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval? [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Here I used 23m/s as initial velocity v_i and 18m/s as the final velocity v_f, and t = 0.0033s as the time traveled. [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I used a_x = v_f - v_i / t, so 18-23/0.0033 which gave me -1515.15m/s^2, which in my opinion seems to be a whole lot. Then I noticed that I can't use the goal post contact time as time traveled. So I am trying to find the time the ball actually traveled from start to hit the post and from rebound to the stop of the ball. Given those values I am stuck finding out how to get the time. [/QUOTE]
