Question
consider a golf club hitting a golf ball. to a good approximation, we can model this as a collision between the rapidly moving head of the golf club and the stationary golf ball, ignoring the shaft of the club and the golfer. a golf ball has a mass of 46g. suppose a 200g club head is moving at a speed of 40m/s just before striking the golf ball. after the collision, the golf ball's speed is 60m/s. what is the momentum of the club +ball system right before the collision? immediately after the collision, the momentum of the club+ball system will be less than before the collision? the same as before the collision? or greater than before the collision? a manufacturer makes a golf ball that compresses more than a traditional golf ball when struck by a club. how will this affect the average force during the collision? by approximately how much does the club head slow down as a result of hitting the ball?
Explanation / Answer
1. 8.0
2. The Same as before the collision
3. The force will decrease
4. we are not yet sure, sorry( it is not 4 or 6)
the last one is 14m/s
