Final answer:
The impulse imparted to the golf ball by the club is calculated using the equation Impulse (J) = Force (F) × Time (t), resulting in 23.09 N·s.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking about the concept of impulse in physics, which is defined as the product of the average force exerted on an object and the time interval over which it is exerted. To calculate the impulse imparted to the golf ball by the club, we use the equation Impulse (J) = Force (F) × Time (t), where the force is 4,618 N and the time is 0.005 s. Therefore, the impulse imparted to the ball is 4,618 N multiplied by 0.005 s, which equals 23.09 N·s (newton-seconds).
