Question

A 0.046 kg golf ball hit by a driver can accelerate from rest to 67 m/s in 1 ms while the driver is in contact with the ball. How much average force does the golf ball experience

Answer 1

Average force = 67 mn

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity u = 0 m/s

Final velocity v = 67 m/s

Time t = 1 ms = 0.001 sec.

Computation:

Using Momentum theory

Change in momentum = F × Δt

(v-u)/t = F × Δt

F × 0.001 = (67 - 0)/0.001

F= 67,000,000

Average force = 67 mn
