A tennis ball moving at a rate of 10m/s reverses its direction to move in the opposite direction at a velocity of 10m/s. This change in direction occurs over the span of 2 seconds. If the acceleration of this tennis ball is constant, what is the magnitude of the tennis ball's acceleration? |
|
A
|
5m/s^2 |
B
|
10m/s^2 |
C
|
20m/s^2 |
