A world-class tennis player can serve a tennis ball at 130 mi/h mi/h (about 58 m/s m/s ). The length of a tennis court is 78 ft ft . Approximately how long does an opponent have to react from the instant the ball is served until the ball reaches the opponent?.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The time taken is   [tex]t = 0.4103 \ s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  speed is  [tex]v  =  130 \  mi/h =  58 \  m/s[/tex]

   The  length of the tennis court [tex]l =  78 \ ft = \frac{78}{3.281}= 23.8 \ m[/tex]

 Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

      [tex]t =  \frac{ 23.8}{ 58}[/tex]

=>        [tex]t = 0.4103 \ s[/tex]
