A tennis ball of mass 0.06 kg is served. It strikes the ground with a velocity of 54 m/s at an angle of 22 degrees below the horizontal. Just after the bounce it is moving at 53 m/s at an angle of 19 degrees above the horizontal. If the interaction with the ground lasts 0.067 s, what average force did the ground exert on the ball?
