Momentum between the tennis racket and the ball.
Answer to Problem 32SSC
Momentum between the tennis racket and the ball is not conserved.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Conservation of momentum: According to law of conservation of momentum before collision is equal to momentum.
Momentum between the tennis racket and the ball is not conserved, because the mass of the ball is small and racket has large mass in comparison to ball, only a little variation in its velocity is needed. Also, racket is held by a heavy arm which is connected to a playerwhich is in contactwith Earth. Hence, the racket and ball do not comprise an isolated system.
Conclusion: Momentum between the tennis racket and the ball is not conserved.
