To find the force exerted by the floor on the ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion:
Force = Mass * Acceleration
First, let's convert the racket's speed from km/h to m/s:
65 km/h * (1000 m / 1 km) * (1 h / 3600 s) = 18.06 m/s
Now let's calculate the initial velocity of the ball when it leaves the racket. Assuming the ball is at rest initially, the initial velocity is the same as the racket's speed:
Initial velocity of the ball = 18.06 m/s
Next, let's calculate the time it takes for the ball to hit the floor on the south end of the court. We can use the equation:
Final velocity = Initial velocity + (Acceleration * Time)
The final velocity is 0 m/s because the ball hits the floor and comes to a stop. So, rearranging the equation, we have:
Time = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Acceleration
Time = (0 m/s - 18.06 m/s) / (10 m/s^2) = -1.81 s
Since time cannot have a negative value, we discard the negative sign. Therefore, the time it takes for the ball to hit the floor is 1.81 seconds.
Using Newton's second law of motion, we can now calculate the force exerted by the floor on the ball:
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Force = 0.1 kg * 10 m/s^2 = 1 N
So, the floor on the south end of the court exerts a force of 1 N on the ball.
