A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.72 m and rebounds to a height of 1.02 m. Calculate its acceleration, in units of m/s2, during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 2.27 ms. HINT: You will have to calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor AND its velocity just after it leaves the floor on its way back up. Show ALL work on your paper.
