(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We shall assume a 30.0-ms contact time for this exercise. The fastest-known served tennis ball was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73.14 m/s. (a) What impulse and what force did Big Bill exert on the tennis ball in his

The fastest-known served tennis ball was served by “Big Bill” Tilden in 1931, and its speed was measured to be 73.14 m/s.  (a) What impulse and what force did Big Bill exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? (b) If Big Bill’s opponent returned his serve with a speed of 55m/s, what force and what impulse did he exert on the ball, assuming only horizontal motion?
