Question 14 - Problems - Chapter 2

Problem:

The fastest speed ever measured for a tennis ball served by a player was 263 km/h.

Question:

At this speed, how long does the tennis ball take to go from one end of the court to the other, a distance of 23.8 m?

Solution:

Distance $s = 23.8$ m

Speed $v = 263$ km/h

Time $t = \frac{s}{t}$

In [1]:
Distance = 23.8 # in m
Speed = 263 /3.6 # in m/s
Time = Distance / Speed
print(f'The time for the ball to travel the tennis court is {Time:.3f} s.')
The time for the ball to travel the tennis court is 0.326 s.
