A golf ball of mass 0.045 kg is hit off the tee at a speed of 35 m/s . The golf club was in contact with the ball for 3.10×10^−3 s .
\A.) Find the impulse imparted to the golf ball.
\Mass of the golf ball is kg.
A golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of m/s.
The golf club was in contact with the ball for s .
(A)
\Find the impulse imparted to the golf ball.
\Impulse is the change in momentum.
\Initially ball is at the rest, thus momentum is zero.
\\
\
Therefore, final momentum is impulse.
\.
Substitute and
in the above formula.
Impulse imparted to the golf ball is N.
(B)
\Find the average force exerted on the ball by the golf club.
\The golf club was in contact with the ball for s .
Use impulse formula to determine the force.
\.
From part (A), .
Substitute and
in
.
Average force exerted on the ball by the golf club is 508 N.
