Answer:

0.3257 seconds

39.67 m/s

Explanation:

Speed = 263 km/h

Converting to m/s

[tex]1\ km/h=\frac{1}{3.6}\ m/s[/tex]

[tex]263\ km/h=263\times \frac{1}{3.6}\ m/s=\frac{1315}{18}\ m/s[/tex]

Distance to travel = 23.8 m

Time = Distance / Speed

[tex]Time=\frac{23.8}{\frac{1315}{18}}=0.3257\ s[/tex]

The time taken to go from one end of the court to the other is 0.3257 seconds

Time = 0.6 s

Speed = Distance / Time

[tex]Speed=\frac{23.8}{0.6}=39.67\ m/s[/tex]

The speed of the tennis ball is 39.67 m/s
