Answer:
as you spike the volleyball, you transfer kinetic energy to the volleyball.
the formula for kinetic energy is as such: [tex]E_{k} = \frac{1}{2}(m)(v^{2} )[/tex], where [tex]E_{k}[/tex] is kinetic energy, m is mass (in kg) and v is velocity/speed in m/s
[tex]E_{k} = \frac{1}{2} (0.260) (31.29^{2} ) \\ = 127 Joules (3 s.f.)[/tex]
