When a golf club hits a 0.0459 kg ball (initially at rest), it exerts a 2380 N force for 0.00100 s. What is the momentum of the ball afterwards?

PLEASE I NEED HELP! ​

Final answer:

The momentum of the ball after being hit by the golf club is 2.38 kg·m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The momentum of an object is calculated using the formula:

Momentum = mass x velocity

In this case, the mass of the ball is 0.0459 kg and the velocity is not given. However, we know that the golf club exerts a force of 2380 N on the ball for 0.00100 s.

By using the formula:

Force = change in momentum/time

We can rearrange the formula to solve for the change in momentum:

Change in momentum = Force x time

Plugging in the given values:

Change in momentum = (2380 N) x (0.00100 s)

Change in momentum = 2.38 kg·m/s

Therefore, the momentum of the ball afterward is 2.38 kg·m/s.
