Question

2. How much force, in g cm / s2 , is exerted by a golf ball described in problem 1 striking a tree while accelerating at 20 cm / s2 ? Show how you can solve this problem without knowing that F = m a. Explain your solution.

Answer 1

F = 1000 g cm/s²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of 1 ball is 50 gram

Acceleration, a = 20 cm/s²

We need to find the force exerted by a golf ball. We know that,

F = ma

So,

F = 50 g × 20 cm/s²

F = 1000 g cm/s²

So, the required force is 1000 g cm/s².
