Question
An ice hockey forward with mass 70.0 kg is skating due north with a speed of 5.5 m/s. As the forward approaches the net for a slap shot, a defensive player (mass 110 kg) skates toward him in order to apply a body-check. The defensive player is traveling south at 4.0 m/s just before they collide. If the two players become intertwined and move together after they collide, in what direction and at what speed do they move after the collision? Friction between the two players and the ice can be neglected.

(This number can also vary, depending on the racket and swing.) We assume a 59.0 g ball and a 26.0 ms contact time in this problem. In the 2011 Davis Cup competition, Ivo Karlovic made one of the fastest recorded serves in history, which was clocked at 156 mi//h (70 m/s). Part A: What impulse did Karlovic exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? Take the +x direction to be along the final direction of motion of the ball. Part B: What average force did Karlovic exert on the tennis ball in his record serve? Part C: If his opponent returned this serve with a speed of 55.0 m/s, what impulse did his opponent exert on the ball, assuming purely horizontal motion?
