A ball of mass 0.1kg approaching a tennis player with a velocity of 10ms\(^{-1}\),is hit back in the opposite direction with a velocity of 15ms\(^{-1}\). If the time of impact between the racket and the ball is 0.01s, calculate the magnitude of the force with which the ball is hit

Two blocks of the same dimension, one steel and the other wooden are dropped simultaneously from the same height. If they fall freely neglecting air resistance the

Two forces 3N and 4N act on a body in directions due north and due east respectively. Calculate their equilibrant

A missile weighing 400N on the earth surface is shot into the atmosphere to an altitude of 6.4 x \(10^{-6}\)m. Taking the earth as a sphere of radius 6.4 x \(10^{-6}\)m and assuming the inverse-square law of universal gravitation, what would be the weight of the missile at that altitude?
