Question

In golf, a club is swung to hit a small ball resting on the ground. Golfer A holds his club a short distance behind the golf ball, swings through a small distance, and hits the ball. The ball travels a small distance. Golfer B holds his club above his shoulder, swings through a large distance, and hits the ball. The ball travels a large distance. Explain why golfer B's golf ball travels a longer distance than golfer A's by using Newton's First Law.

Answer 1

Golfer B hits his golf ball at a higher rate of speed and with more force. This means that golfer B's ball will travel for a longer period of time and a longer distance due to newtons first law, where it says an object in motion stays in motion, with the same speed and in the same direction.
