Sagot :

Answer:

t=0.417s

Explanation:

After the ball hits the racket it is in freefall(assume air resistance as negligible)

so a=-g

use

x-x0=v0t+1/2at^2

Plug in givens

20=50t-4.9t^2

Solve quadratic equation using quadratic formula

t= 0.417 seconds, (the other answer is extraneous because it is too big because in 1 second, the ball travels 50 meters)
